Surprising as it may be for many of us who remember the picture, face and voice of a very young man, the late El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, better known to us as Malcolm X, would have been 79 on May 19, 2004. As years went by, Malcolm was all but expunged from US history, particularly after the decimation and annihilation of many of the Black radical groups that attempted to uphold his views. It was only in the 1980s that a reawakening took place, largely among African-American youth, where Malcolm was reintroduced not only to African Americans, but as well to the larger society.
