Happy Birthday Malcolm X. Your power transcends all space and time. You gave me the courage over 30 years ago to start my first boycott! I started my flyer off by saying To My Fellow Black Students!!!! My Principal had a problem with it because the flyer did not include everyone and just say Students. Half the school population was white. I told him the White store owner did not identify every student. He specifically identified us! He said You Black Kids are always stealing I dont need your Welfare money now get out. He said this to my best friend who happened to be very dark skin and in the very next breath asked me did I want to buy anything else. Ugh No!!!! My inner Malcolm X rose up in me and I said We will never buy another thing from this store. You dont need our welfare money remember!!!! That was the beginning of his store closure. All because a young teenage girl had read about Malcolm X! Never Forget We stand on the backs of greatness! Wordeee.com. Using my words to free others.
