Margaret Kimberley · First and Foremost, Malcolm X Was “Black Minded”

If he were alive today, Malcolm X “would be a harsh and clear critic of everything that’s happening” under the Black Lives Matter banner, said Michael Sawyer, a professor of Race, Ethnicity, and Migration Studies at Colorado College, and author of a new book, titled “Black Minded: The Political Philosophy of Malcolm X.” Prof, Sawyer believes Malcolm would be most interested in “following the money,” to determine what forces are attempting to direct the course of events.
