The Sunday before he was to officially announce his rupture
Louis Vuitton Handbags On Sale with Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X cameto my home to discuss his plans and give me some necessary documentation.
Mrs. Handler had never met Malcolm before this fateful visit. She served us coffee and cakes whileMalcolm spoke in the courteous, gentle manner that was his in private. It was obvious to me that Mrs.
Handler was impressed by Malcolm. His personality filled our living room.
Malcolm's attitude was that of a man who had reached a crossroads in his life and was making achoice under an inner compulsion. A
cheap Louis Vuitton bags wistful smile illuminated his countenance from time to time-asmile that said many things. I felt uneasy because Malcolm was evidently trying to say somethingwhich his pride and dignity prevented him from expressing. I sensed that Malcolm was not confidenthe would succeed in escaping from the shadowy world which had held him in thrall.
Mrs. Handler was quiet and thoughtful after Malcolm's departure. Looking up suddenly, she said:
"You know, it was like having tea with a black panther."The description startled me. The black panther is an aristocrat
Cheap Louis Vuitton Bags in the animal kingdom. He is beautiful.
He is dangerous. As a man, Malcolm X had the physical bearing and the inner self-confidence of aborn aristocrat. And he was potentially dangerous. No man in our time aroused fear and hatred in thewhite man as did Malcolm, because in him the white man sensed an implacable foe who could not behad for any price-a man unreservedly committed to the cause of liberating the black man in Americansociety rather than integrating the black man into that society.
My first
Cheap Louis vuitton bags meeting with Malcolm X took place in March 1963 in the Muslim restaurant of TempleNumber Seven on Lenox Avenue. I had been assigned by _The New York Times_ to investigate thegrowing pressures within the Negro community. Thirty years of experience as a reporter in Westernand Eastern Europe had taught me that the forces in a developing social struggle are frequently buriedbeneath the visible surface and make themselves felt in many ways long before they burst out into the open. These generative forces make themselves felt
jordan heels through the power of an idea long before theirorganizational forms can openly challenge the establishment. It is the merit of European politicalscientists and sociologists to give a high priority to the power of ideas in a social struggle. In theUnited States, it is our weakness to confuse the numerical strength of an organization and thepublicity attached to leaders with the germinating forces that sow the seeds of social upheaval in ourcommunity.
