So we found out this program works. It is the only one it works in everything that black people have had to date has failed. Christianity has failed. Religion has failed. If you want education has failed schooling has failed. So we find it in the in the training that the black people are getting in Roxbury is ready for instead of Now the program when teaching at two years old take the children from up into nineteen 88 when white people admitted they'll be on the move.
But we we have civil rights. If you follow the program as laid by all of the organizations that exist because they are under the European system the Western system which is as you know with white supremacy as evidenced. So we try to deal with that. There's no school that I know is dealing with that geography history mathematics these foolishness does not deal with white racism and that is our problem.
So we know Malcolm Malcolm X Foundation do deal with the problem. So the Malcolm X Foundation realizes that this is the time for political sophistication as well as ethnic sophistication as well as ethnic responsibility and we have tightened up. And all groups will become black nationalists under the under the leadership and the total age and the programs devised by Brother Malcolm X the Black Panther Party is a national movement now.
One is self defense and one in the other. Under the complete total age of Malcolm X so they can definitely definitely a national. If not now international in scope. Because everything in the world is screaming self-defense.
China having the bomb to defend itself against the Western powers is a measure that self-defense and I think that you'll find that Japan which which tried to form their form of justice having a history of the Opium Wars when the United States and England all the white powers attacked China two times under the opium was they went to sell opium to China.
And now that China is trying to get retribution only for the past week they teach black people that China is the aggressor all the black people don't realize that that the United States government right now is only bombing five minutes from Japan. What would you think would happen if the United China bombed five years from the United States.
So we the United States must be looked upon as the aggressor and the only thing that stops aggressors are movements like the Malcolm X Foundation and other black panthers for self-defense because black people are the only people on the face of the universe who the law forbids the X2 to exercise self defense. London photographed. Portobello Road photographed. Photographer Charlie Phillips moved to London from Jamaica in and began to document life in his local community.
Phillips recorded visitors to Notting Hill such as the African-American Allen Donaldson, better known as Hakim Jamal , a controversial figure in black activism photographed at the centre of this group. Jamal displays a copy of his autobiography, From the Dead Level: Malcolm X and Me , which focused on his association with the African American civil rights activist Malcolm Little or Malcolm X , whose cousin he had married.
Jamal had been involved with a wide range of black activist movements before moving to London in the late s when he became associated with the British Black Power revolutionary Michael de Freitas, who called himself Michael X Jamal and his girlfriend Gale Benson, the daughter of a British M.
The controversy surrounding these events and the roles played by Michael X and Hakim Jamal were explored in an essay by the British Trinidadian writer V. Naipul and were said to have informed his novel Guerillas Gelatin silver print. Photographic Paper. A black and white photograph shot from a low angle of three black men facing the camera, standing in front of a shopfront with a sign that reads 'Backaya' the sign is cut off.
Around 11 pm there was a knock at the door. Kidogo saw a group of men led by one with a carbine rifle in his hands. The dog lunged at the man with the rifle and Kidogo slammed the door shut.
Jamal watched as Kidogo put his back to the door and jumped up and down without speaking. The door was forced open. Jamal now had the shotgun in his hands and was trying to get it into position to fire. Gunshots rang out. Friday marks 55 years since the assassination of Malcolm X, and the complexities of his life and his death are increasingly being examined from different angles—from the recent Netflix special on his death to Detroit Red , the new play examining his life as a Boston street hustler.
And like Malcolm X, Hakim Jamal was now facing down a group of armed men. Hakim Jamal was a Boston original—an engaging author and activist who identified as a recovering alcoholic and addict. He founded the group that created Kwanzaa. However, in the last year of his life the handsome and charismatic leader was showing troubling signs—insisting to others that he was in fact God.
Even more troubling, he was at least complicit and possibly directly involved in the gruesome murder of a young model in Trinidad. Before all that, Jamal was a Roxbury teen infatuated with the clubs and street corner action of black Boston.
That was where he met Detroit Red. In his memoir, Jamal recounts that coming-of-age night when he met Detroit Red, the street name of the man born Malcolm Little, who had not quite yet matured into Malcolm X. When he opened his coat his pants were just high enough for the current style.
That night was the first time Jamal tried heroin. With Charlie Parker playing in the background and feeling the intense euphoric opiate high, the year-old added heroin addiction to his already growing problem with alcohol. From there, Jamal experienced the full horror of addiction. He was in prison for attempted murder at age 20 and served four years.
If they were up there, this cat Muhammad must at least be a murderer! When most of the crowd were on their feet, Malcolm X approached the podium and, after what seemed like minutes of silence, began to speak.
His voice was strong and he knew just what he was doing. Soon, the hall was rocking. They realized they were black, whereas up here, in Boston, we thought we were negroes and that alone made us chumps. Although he had initial doubts, the following year Jamal converted to Islam and swore off drugs and alcohol forever. Within a few years, Jamal himself became a valued voice in the discussion surrounding the struggle for civil rights.
He wrote a book published in that eloquently captures his interactions with Malcolm X at various points in the life of this master of reinvention. The title, From the Dead Level: Malcolm X and Me , hinted that Jamal and Malcolm X had a substantial relationship, but in reality they had only a handful of meaningful encounters. These are scrupulous. He took pains not to distort them.
Not once did he try to blow up the facts on which he was basing his own claims to attention. To close the book, Jamal admits he is not sure what is next in his life.
