Thanks for posting this. I think that we as a people can move beyond the evil that killed Malcolm X only when we know the true story behind his murder. Then can we finally and truly come to grips with it.

I posted a reprint of the Shirley Chisholm obituary from this January. Contained in it was the following quotation: "As a black person, I am no stranger to race prejudice. But the truth is that in the political world I have been far oftener discriminated against because I am a woman than because I am black." Like Malcolm X, she was working against a sexist, racist patriarchal culture.
