Malcolm X at 98: Angela Davis on His Enduring Legacy & the "Long Struggle for Liberation"
We dedicate the show to remembering Malcolm X on what would have been his 98th birthday Friday. We begin with an address by world-renowned abolitionist, author and activist Angela Davis on Malcolm's legacy, attacks on the teaching of Black history by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and more. "This is a time to reflect deeply on the long struggle for liberation," Davis said. "And Malcolm asked us to keep our eyes on the future, future worlds, radical democratic futures for all beings who inhabit this planet."

She babbles and has no substance at all sister Shahrazad Ali is more qualified to be speaking on brother Malcolm and his family. During her upcoming she worked with the FBI to bring down certain black organization's and it's well documented. She's always been against the black nuclease family with her so-called black feminist movement and she's never spoken up for black women who've lost their lives or children due to these race soldiers that murder them until after the fact that's why I've never respected this lady she's a agent that white supremacist's society love to put in the forefront as a voice of black people.
Well spoken words! I enjoyed listening and learning.

Malcolm was trying to convince black Americans to stop giving their vote away for free to the Democrats. Sad to say, almost sixty years later, his words fell on death ears.
a masterclass in activism🙏🏻
Outstanding as ever
Malcolm x I AM A MAN LEGACY... Lives. BD May 19.... RIP.
Angela, you are very special , you have given your life to speak up for the disenfranchised of this world and for that you have my love and respect. 1965 the year I was born, I came across you in the 80s some years after ' Malcolm's death ,you and others educated me and made me more aware of our world, being white I did not experience your struggle or that of native Americans, Palestinians etc, but for what it's worth I stand by you in your fight against injustice ... all the best from the U.K !
thank you so much everyone for being here for this and hearing these messages, and sharing this time together

Good morning Amy & Team Democracy Now. Thank you for having Angela Davis on again. She is a beacon for knowledge for us all with all its complexities and twists in our history of America on all sides. RIP 🙏 Malcolm X , Dr. Martin Luther KingJr, we must never forget. We must keep moving forward with an intoxication for love for one another and hold hands in unison to keep the fire has lit by men and woman of great character. Inclusiveness for all races is of great intelligence and insights. With the deepest appreciation and respect for reminding us, we all have red blood. When one knows, one doesn't know, and when one doesn't know, then and only then one may. A mind that is learning is a mind this open, at times we change our minds our perception is not clear at that moment , because a vast more education one must grasp. American history and world histories on all sides.🙏❤️
Happy Heavenly Birthday Malcolm X.

This is a needed conversation. As Thomas has been bought by Crowe to support fascism the movement has a harder task to remain Righteous in the face of greed that lures and corrupts. Malcolm X had so much insight into our shared reality. The struggle continues, each heart must be searched for the needed gumption.

Democracy Now! is controlled opposition and garbage. Malcolm X himself warned us not to be hyper skeptical of conservatives but to be hyper skeptical of white liberals as they are the ones who will smile in your face and stab you in the back. The sheer irony of this program referencing Ron DeSantis and Republican policies when Malcolm himself would have told you to be wary of those loudly proclaiming they are your ally while, in reality, working against you. Remember - Joe Biden is not just historically anti-labor, he has broken strikes in the last 12 months! The conservatives aren't your problem - they are at least transparent in their beliefs and goals. Democrats are the snakes convincing you they're here to help you when really they're here to sell you further down the MIC/Pharma river.
Every problem deserves a solution. That's why we stay in the struggle. X's example for all of us who have come after him teaches us not to give up the fight.

Facts at least someone in the comments sees right through these agents. Malcolm never respected this lady and it's funny how they wait until everyone from his family has descended to let this agent speak on his behalf. Sister Betty would've shut this down if she was still was here and even the daughter's that were still active would've spoken up. She's a joke and has always been a joke even if you go back to her old interview's you can clearly see what agendas she has and how she was against the black nuclease family.
