Letters To The Editor

Thank you for remembering Malcolm X. CI is virtually the only publication that has always paid tribute to this great son of Islam. Malcolm X was a true revolutionary and a visionary who became a legend in his own lifetime. Few could match his eloquence or wit. He understood clearly what afflicted America and was not afraid to speak about it. For this he paid the supreme sacrifice of his life. He knew he was a marked man but was not afraid to die for his principles. If African Americans have achieved anything, it is almost entirely due to his struggle.
