SEL -RESPECT, self-help,
self-reliance, self-defense nd
self-determinaUn and nation­

tMt this magnificent convert to
the movement put forth as a
master teacher nd leader.
Up from the deva tating
depths of oppre sive ghetto life,
Malcolm calQ 0 sJ bolize
resistance to racism and oppre -
sion. He embodied our hope for
what we can become a a free
and self-determining people. He
illustrated, without a doubt, that
all of us can rise above the
limitations imposed on us by an
oppressive system to strike
blows for our own freedom and
liber tion.
Malcolm is every endangered
Black man in tbis society today.
And his life is a living example
of tbe victim rising up to tum the
tables on the victimizer.
The lesson of Malcolm' life
is tbat transformation is possible
and our liberation is inevitable if
we figbt to free ourselve and
our people. Malcolm X is wortby
of emulation and praise.
As Ossie Davis put it "Mal­
colm was our manbood ... and
in honoring him we honor our­
selves" .
