Malcolm X is my hero. He is uncensored, strong and to the point. He speaks of education, peace, freedomand the danger with blind patriotism. He is a controversial figure due to his unapologizing nature and strong words. He did say that he didn't want to illicit help from the whites in securing rights for blacks, but later admitted that he was wrong and welcomed help from all. This change took place after his trip to Mecca when he saw men of different nationalities and colors praying together. It was here he realized that all can join for a common purpose. Some are unforgiving of his mistakes, I say he is brave to have admitted his. Imagine if we were all this brave.
