The
Birth of Proof: May 19, 1925

For
those who criticize society's downtrodden and stereotype the
impoverished as a class of undesirables and dirty-rotten failures,
who will
never amount to anything.
Malcolm
Little once felt the claustrophobia of the cold prison walls, yet
he
triumphed and emerged as Minister Malcolm X (May 19, 1925 - Feb.
21, 1965),
whose charisma attracted international respect.
Through
the radiant potency of his words, synonymous with inspiration, he
revolutionized the hearts and minds of a then unborn X generation.
His
seeds of redemption pollinated the grassless landscapes of the
impoverished, which ultimately germinated and grew into a harvest
of
self-sufficiency rooted in sovereignty.
Now,
who would have ever thought the convict known as "Detroit Red"
would
end up being immortalized as a "shinning prince" when
his eulogy was read?
May
his legacy remain as a pillar of undeniable proof that redemption
may be
attained by anyone when opportunity is introduced.
