 Discovering Malcolm X has been a revelation! 

For too long, I confused him with other civil rights leaders like MLk & other. He's truly a titan. Excited to dive into his autobiography.

 What about him exactly do you admire? 
 This was real; he truly stood for what he believed in. A very strong personality with multiple life transformations. 

Apart from that, I have special respect for people who challenge the status quo and do not entirely adhere to its rules. He did it for what he believed was a just cause. 

You need these kinds of people to inspire future generations when injustice becomes the law. 
 What do you think that he believed in?

 The most I learn about him, the fascinating it becomes. 
 He was dope as fuck. He would be right at home in these times as he was back then 
 Wasn't he somewhat fanatic? I don't know much of him. A special personality anyway... 
 Bad trigger discipline though  
 It's a great book!
