Dawna Lee - Because it Matters...: The life of Malcolm X

The life of Malcolm X - A documentary

Interviews with family members and academics, alongside original footage of Malcom himself. Malcom has been described as a controversial figure, and very militant, and as a result some may find his words, and views offensive. History can be like that. Set into historical context from what I have seen (as I will have to view in full tonight) it's quite in depth, and similar in style, to the documentary on Marcus Garvey

" Do you see yourself as militant?"
"I see myself as Malcolm".

Welcome

It’s nice to have your company..

and I’m happy to share my thoughts with you

We may not always agree, but we can disagree with love for such is the beauty of life.

If I could ask anything of you, it would be that you step outside of what you know, and embrace people from other backgrounds, to try to build genuine friendships that span across the economic and racial divide.

If we want to put an end to isms such as racism, maybe we need to begin closer to home. Reserve judgments and open our minds to new ways of thinking…new ways of being.

It’s not easy breaking with the norm, but it’s worth a try.

I may not know how to be a lot of things..

but I know how to be me.

Enjoy x
