Omowale Malcolm X’s Associate Educator Remembers Him

The Creator Supreme is all-knowing and Afrikan souls of the world have been bestowed upon with superlative knowingness from the Ultimate Divine. Remembrance is an important part of knowing. For the Afrikan it is recollection and rejuvenation of spirit. For the Afrikan it is the bringing forth of the best s/heroes of the Afrikan pantheon. For the Afrikan it is key in the process for restoration of self. For the Afrikan it is honouring the best of the Afrikan self. For Afrikan it reconnects the soul to higher purpose. For the Afrikan it is profound learning. For the Afrikan it is a part of spiritual and cultural living. The observance of Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko is a progressive time of remembrance of the life and example of this great hero. This great Heru. This great Ogun. Many recall his magnificent spirit. One such recollection comes from Omowale Malcolm X’s associate educator in the OAAU, James Campbell:

“I went to a meeting organized by Malcolm across from Abyssinian Baptist Church, and this was where we met. The political aspect of this appealed to me as I was not religious. I expressed my interest in working with his educational committee. A young journalist named Lynne Shifflett was there and was very professional. She paired me with an educator from Queens, NY named Herman Ferguson. We formed this Liberation School in the model of Afrikan Liberation Schools. The focus was more on making a fairer economic structure for oppressed people as opposed to educating people to get jobs in the existing system.”

“We reached out to the Harlem Street Speakers, such as Queen Mother Moore, James Lawson, Edward “Pork Chop” Davis, and bookstore owners Richard B. Moore and Lewis Micheaux. I went to a printer to print diplomas for the school; they had the names of [freedom fighting] leaders from Herbert Aptheker’s book “American Negro Slave Rebellions,” and room for Malcolm to sign his name. When Malcolm heard this, he gave his famous laugh and said, “That’s what I want.” During the Liberation School sessions, Malcolm would often come in the back of the room and just sit and listen...

The last three years of Malcolm X’s life, as was the case with Dr. King, were the most important of Malcolm’s life, as his thoughts were really evolving and he was constantly learning”.
