    These FBI surveillance files on Molcolm X is worth using in classrooms as primary texts. Can be matched with Malcolm X's Diary.

    Two lovely pictures of Baldwin in Istanbul. I somehow needed to see these for inspiration.

    This statement signed by Vince Carter & others Black former #UNC athletes: "We would have liked to have heard the opinion of the athletic department leadership and coaches…Their silence is very glaring and tells us a story."

    Surprising discovery while reading Malcolm X's Diary from 1964: Malcolm met and had some nice conversation with famous Turkish bureaucrat and politician Kasım Gülek during his pilgrimage. I would not have expected that.amazon.com/dp/B00QMQ6KOG/…
