"Make it Plain" mixed in with listening to Malcolm's old speeches really moved me. He was so honest, so raw and ultimately his words had such compassion and hope. Nway I can go on about Malcolm all day. Hope you enjoy the articles. @Nerimae: I know,in this day and age so many of our heroes is a case of the blind leading the blind, not to stir up old debates, but this is one of the reasons that I am so strongly disappointed in the proliferation of the whole gangsta sub-section of the hip hop community esp in the African community.

If you dont know where you are from you wont know where you are going or something to that effect. Havent gotten a chance to watch the videos yet, will let you know. Lemme go read the piece you wrote on Mlacolm X ( my definition of a real hero) and Steve Biko. Keep up the good work.

I am fond of saying if he didn't inspire a lot of the great Afrocentric and Negritude and Black Consciousness thinkers, Lord knows where I would be. Which videos won't play? If a video won't play on my site just double click on it and a new window should open up in Youtube where you can watch the video. Otherwise you can take the title of the video and do a search on Google Videos. Let me know what you think once you've watched them. @Nerimae: You are more than welcome.
