When I am deadโI say it that way because from the things I know, I do not expect to live long enough to read this book in its finished formโI want you to just watch and see if Iโm not right in what I say: that the white man, in his press, is going to identify me with โhateโ. He will make use of me dead, as he has made use of me alive, as a convenient symbol, of โhatredโโand that will help him escape facing the truth that all I have been doing is holding up a mirror to reflect, to show, the history of unspeakable crimes that his race has committed against my race. - #MalcolmX Happy Birthday โฅ
