Welcome to The Malcolm X-Periment
As a part of our Spiritual Autobiography class presentation, we invite you to browse our site to enrich your knowledge of Malcolm X. We will be presenting The Autobiography of Malcolm X from Monday, March 17 through Friday, March 28, 2008. There will be questions and thoughts for the day posted on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You are encouraged to respond openly and honestly--write as much as you want. This blog is for you! These responses will be brought into our class discussions as well. Our goal is to further your knowledge of Malcolm X by many different avenues: comparing and contrasting his way of fighting for civil rights to the ways of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., analyzing the movie starring Denzell Washington, and reviewing Malcolm X's numerous speeches including those he gave at Harvard.
Open your mind, eyes, and ears . . . discover the world of Malcolm X.

When people think about civil rights, it seems like they think "Oh that thing that happened years ago. America's such a great country etc." Then you realize the truth of the matter, and it is surprising. We're in the 21st century, and we're still dealing with problems relating to race. We've gotten this far, but how far have we actually gotten? Sometimes it doesn't seem as far as people believe.
You are exactly right. Unfortunately, we see things like this every day in the paper, on television, and many times in our own backyard. I, just like you, always question how far we have come in our fight for equality and humanity. And I can't help but wonder if fifty years from now we'll read and see things just like this in the news . . .
