“I was one of the ones who didn't really hear Malcolm's voice until it was amplified by death. I had been guilty of what many of us are still guilty of - letting the media, and I don't mean only the white media - define the bearers of those messages most important to our lives. When I read Malcolm X with careful attention, I found a man much closer to the complexities of real change than anything I had read before.”
