Prometheus 6

All respect and no restraint

You knew there was going to be Malcolm videos, right?

Here go half an hour of Malcolm X at U of C Berkeley.

This is pretty good stuff. 

This is pretty good stuff.  Hope you provide more of this kind of material as the month goes on. 

I will. A lot of folks

I will. A lot of folks haven't seen the original material, and to be honest they're easy posts to make.

On MLK Day,

On MLK Day, MSNBC.com linked an appearance of Dr. King on Meet the Press from 1960.   He was basically drilled by an all-white panel who tried to tag him with everything from miscenegenation, Communism, reverse racism, to disturbing law and order.  It was fascinating to see how King kept his composure while his integrity, intelligence, and desire for justice were questioned at every end.  In many warys, the crew at Fox News represent a contemporary manifestation of those on this old Meet the Press show who attempted to smear what Dr. King stood for.  I think this raw footage is important because in most circumstances you can't put any spin on it.  It tells it like it is.
