I really enjoyed this weeks readings! Both Fredrick Douglass and Malcom X are such amazingly inspirational people.

So much can be learned from their writings it’s difficult to narrow it down to even one specific area! What was most greatly impressed upon me in this weeks reading was their dedication to education. It’s remarkable to see how they both…

There were many civil rights leaders and organizations in the 50’s and 60’s that tried to make a difference for African Americans, but none of them compared to Malcolm X. He didn’t just want equality he wanted JUSTICE! Some people thought that he was a terrible person, and that his tactics were too harsh, if anything they weren’t harsh enough. Civil Rights leaders such as John Lewis, Phillip Randolph, Stokely Carmichael, Floyd McKissick, Medgar Evers, and most commonly known Martin Luther…

Malcolm X-plained Dusty old shelves piled with photo albums, newspaper articles and files of someone’s life, sparks faded memories, that grow sweeter with time.

Well known civil rights advocate, Malcolm X preached unity and aggression through reflections of his own life. Malcolm X fell victim to…

males caused by the attainment of an extra X chromosome at conception. It occurs in one in every 500-1000 male births but the rate is up to 20 times higher in newborns. It was first discovered in 1942 by a doctor named Klinefelter who published case reports of nine men who had breast enlargement, a lack of facial and body hair, smaller than average testicles and an inability to produce sperm.

Malcolm X aimed for the same results, but the way he decided to to go through the obstacles did not make sense during this time frame. Both men wanted blacks to be not be discriminated and treated unfairly due to the color of their skin, and both men had different ways they wanted to accomplish this goal.

their blueprint and adapting to their circumstances. They saved themselves. Alexie did not want to be a stereotype and X did not want to use his slang he picked up from the streets. Both authors wanted to be better than they were expected to be and not be seen for what they look like nor where they come from. Reading and language definitely took a toll on them and they became better men. They worked hard day and night to be able to obtain and store all the knowledge they gained from reading and…
