Remembering Omowale Malcolm X

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 his deeply loving harmonious and complimentary queen in oneness of mission, Queen Mother Betty Shabazz:
“A man born of a Grenadian mother and a southern Black preacher father who was a Garveyite (a man who built every house he ever lived in – a man who was a family man). Malcolm was six years old when his father was found under a street car in Detroit Michigan.
Malcolm was good man! Now, if you don’t think so obviously you’ve been hearing something that you should not have been hearing. Malcolm went into that movement, out of prison, with four [temples] made up of senior citizens. And before he was exposed from that movement, there was a [temple] in every major city in the United States and outside of the United States. For God’s sake, don’t take away his work and his legacy.
He spent time away from his family, he should have been with his family. And now, don’t reduce his work to nothing. Whatever discipline I have – which is not much – came from Malcolm not my mother. Whatever strength I have, came from Malcolm not my mother. Whatever tolerance and love for my people came from Malcolm. I was reared like most folks going through public schools with not much respect for myself or [Afrikan] people – so that I have Malcolm to thank. How could I have six [children] and go to graduate school and every other month they were going to foreclose on the house, and [the children] were in school, and the car note, and the this, and the that, and the other. How could I do that if I didn’t have some of his wisdom. How could I have nothing and still consider it a responsibility to help others”.
