Omowale Malcolm X’s Associate Organiser 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 one of the founding members of the OAAU warrior King Earl Grant:

“{Why would you focus so strongly on this man, was he the only hope? Could all of this hope reside within one soul?}  My knowledge of the history of human beings is from time-to-time rare people are born…There are people that stand out in history like Akhenaton in ancient Egypt. And they seem to personify all of the hopes and aspirations of a whole nation of people and you see it appear in one human being. And when that person appears all around them they have to support him because he can’t do it alone…{And that’s where you place Malcolm?} Oh man, he was a historic figure. He was a holy man. That’s one of the reasons he’s not alive today. If he hadn’t of been so pure and kept us and a lot of other people that way, we could have kept him alive longer, maybe not forever, but we could have done it. But we were never allowed to touch anybody unless in defence. And these other people I told you about that offered to assist him he would not permit it. He was really a holy man. He was too clean to be kept alive in this country.

{Is there some way in which understanding his life and death it will be of help to us today?}.. People in general in this country are known for not knowing very much about the past. They have to understand, especially this young generation, that a lot of these people with their MBA’s and their sports cars and their corporate vice presidency’s, they have to know that they’re not their just because the way they wear their clothes, or the way the way they part their hair. Somebody paved the way for them to get their…And they have a responsibility to history to do something else other than just [cash cheques] every week. They have a role to play. They have a people to serve. Unless they do that…people who don’t understand the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them…

You’ve got a lot of these younger people coming out of these schools and going into these corporations they think they’re just another corporate figure. Well, that’s not so. No way. That’s not so. They’re only their because someone paved the way…Dr King being killed, Medgar Evers. This younger generation need to have it burned into their brain how they got where they are and that the road was not easy. And that they are not in heaven. That’s one of the main problems. They think they’re in heaven now. But they’re not. They’re still here. They got a long ways to go…[In] a study…by the US navy: what would be the attitude of white people in this country if [Afrikans] were beginning to be systematically suppressed like the Jews in Germany? And the study pointed out that most white people wouldn’t care. That’s a horrifying thought for me. I mean really, really disturbing, that anybody would even think to conduct a study like that in this country is scary. But that was the conclusion of it. If they started rounding up [Afrikans] and start making them disappear from the city, most people wouldn’t care. They wouldn’t care. That’s what the study said, that they wouldn’t care.

{What was it about him that made you willing to lay down your life for him?) For one thing he was honest. He never lied. If he ever said anything to you, you could bet on it and he was sincere in what he was trying to do. I guess I really never thought about things like that. We didn’t take time out to think about things like that. We had something to do so we did it.…

It was a chance to really be somebody. This country doesn’t allow [Afrikans] to mature.  It allows them to grow up physically but not to mature -mentally, intellectually and spiritually. And Malcolm gave [Afrikans] that chance in this country”.
