A Libation for Brother Malcolm
February 21, 2009
I just penned a libation for Brother Malcolm X, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, Omowale at There Is No Spoon. Here is an excerpt, it’s a short one, so please read, reflect and comment.
A libation for Brother Malcolm

44 years ago to the day, Malcolm X also known as El Hajj Malik El Shabazz and Omowale, was ushered into the ancestors by assassins bullets. There are many ways to honor an ancestor but I thought it important that I honor the legacy of Brother Malcolm by calling on some of his most important lessons in the names of three recent ancestors lost: Oscar Grant, Adolph Grimes, and Robbie Tolan who were all recently assassinated.
