By Any Means Necessary

Today marks the 84th birthday of a pivotal leader in the history of the United States, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz also known as Malcolm X.

The first video is a segment of an interview with Mike Wallace following El-Shabazz's return from his Hajj to Mecca in April 1964. I chose this segment because I found it interesting how he distinguishes between his beliefs and the teachings of Elijah Muhammad. The second and much longer video (1 hr 27 mins) is about the life of Malcolm X, featuring footage from many of his speeches and interviews.

Happy Birthday El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz...
