Malcolm X

In one of his last speeches Malcolm X said: "We don’t judge a man because of the color of his skin. We don’t judge you because you’re white; we don’t judge you because you’re black; we don’t judge you because you’re brown. We judge you because of what you do and what you practice. And as long as you practice evil, we’re against you."

Less than a week later (February 21st 1965) he would be assassinated and become a martyr for the cause.

To commemorate Black History Month (USA) here's a little animation of one of my heroes. Someone who was a great example of overcoming one's environment and obstacles to emerge as a leading voice for freedom and equality.
