M alcolm was giving us a new image to look up to and pattern our lives and struggle after. He pointed us down the path of Pan-Africanism psychologically, politically and culturally.” The cultural impact o f what M alcolm said twenty-three years ■go is evident in 1984: A fro - Americans are naming their children traditional A frican names; they wear and accept cornrowing and bleed when the Motherland (Africa) bleeds. “ The Political Legacy o f Malcolm X ” is required reading for anyone who claims he or she is knowledgeable on Malcolm X or the Black liberation struggle. T'Shaka does not put a halo on Malcolm, but he balances out his strengths and weaknesses. Malcolm X left A fro- Americans with pride and courage. Oba T'Shaka tells how and why. documents, that the substance o f M a lc o lm ’s thoughts did not change.” T'S haka tackles the myths put forth by George Breitman o f the Socialist Workers Party that Malcolm changed from Pan- A frican nationalism to socialism; that when he came back from Africa he was turned inside out and believed changes in this society could be created through Black and white unity. However, any reader of Malcolm could tell you that Malcolm really believed that whites should organize their community and Blacks would organize in their community. T'S haka said, “ W hite marxists (socialists), nationally and in ter nationally, could not tolerate the existence of a base outside their con trol. . .they have attempted to com pletely distort Malcolm's image to conform to their own games.” They have done this by writing books about Malcolm before Black historians had a chance to re-assess Malcolm and the struggle after his death. T'Shaka puts this in perspec tive by implying that no one can define us, but us. He not only proves that Malcolm did no change— the world changed as his predictions o f an A frican Revolution came tru e — but he reconnects M alcolm the leader to other leaders in the historical Black liberation movement; a struggle that has been waged since Blacks arrived in chains in 1619. W ith chapters like “ M alcolm ’s Long Range Program and its Historical R oo ts", T ’Shaka con tends that Malcolm, Martin Delany and Marcus Garvey were all moved by the same awareness that led each o f (hem to embrace nation alism— rather than socialism or in tegration. He said, “ Malcolm's long-range program arose out of a rich history born out o f oppression. . .not a unique idea. M alcolm knew the unemployed Black person today was just as willing to support separation to our African homeland as he was yesterday.” BROADWAX A d v e r t is e m e n t s F o r B id s M o r e b id s o n p a g e 9 I ie»•» O P IN 7 DAYS A W IIK 8 a m to 10 p m Corner of 9th b N E Dekum 286-9772 O N I STOP SNACK SHOP •p a c ia l p ro g ra m to r w o m a n IS 2 S N o r t h a a a t B r o a d w a y P o r tla n d GRACE COLLINS M E M O R IA L CENTER Dev cere* kmaevge^en • F»e echao« ' 7 a lt h Ke* program ' i C h ild r e n w eeks 11 y e a r « R-eea’ee« • ►»»»» luntnee* V'erRe 281 6930 128 N E Russell St O R 97232 5 0 3 2 94 9 00 4 T a lk T o F o u l O t T h a B a s t .i la u la n t a A g a n t * A t O n c a you State Farm Agant o n A tM 0 H o m a LA * a n d H a aN h M atth ew K Barnett 4823 N I ombard 16031 786-264« A tto rn a y a A t L a w R a a a o n a b la R a ta * 2014 NE Sandy Blvd , Suite 206 Portland, OR 97232 239 4532
