Today is the 48th Anniversary of the killing of the brilliant hero, Malcolm X.  While he may have left us in the physical sense, his message and spirit are still present.  Today more than ever we continue to need Malcolm's message because many of the issues he fought against surrounding racism and human rights violations are still present in our society.  We often wonder what Malcolm would have to say if he were here today.  Thankfully we can still draw from his writings and speeches.  Take the time out to do so for yourself and get connected/reconnected with this brilliant man.  You can find many of his famous speeches on youtube these days so take a look and listen up.  

In this election year in New York City, we thought sharing this speech made by Malcolm known as, "The Ballot of The Bullet" to be very appropriate.  Enjoy.
