Malcolm X: The End of White World Supremacy
"Eulogy for Malcolm X"
Ossie Davis (1917 - 2005)
Faith Temple Church of God In Christ, New York City - February 27, 1965
“This was his meaning to his people. And, in honoring him, we honor the best in ourselves. Last year, from Africa, he wrote these words to a friend: My journey, he says, is almost ended,
and I have a much broader scope than when I started out, which I believe will add new life and dimension to our struggle for freedom and honor and dignity in the States.
I am writing these things so that you will know for a fact the tremendous sympathy and support we have among the African States for our human rights struggle. The main thing is that we keep a united front wherein
our most valuable time and energy will not be wasted fighting each other.
However we may have differed with him—or with each other about him and his value as a man—let his going from us serve only to bring us together, now.
Consigning these mortal remains to earth, the common mother of all, secure in the knowledge that what we place in the ground is no more now a man—but a seed—which, after the winter of our discontent, will come
forth again to meet us. And we will know him then for what he was and is—a prince—our own black shining prince!—who didn't hesitate to die, because he loved us so”.
“No man in our time aroused fear and hatred in the white man as did Malcolm, because in him the white man sensed an implacable foe who could not be had for any price — a man unreservedly committed to the cause of liberating the Black man in American society,
rather than integrating the Black man into that society.” (As the journalist M.S. Handler stated in the documentary film, El Hajj Malik Shabazz)
Despite the efforts of the corporate media to distort his legacy and international image since his martyrdom, Malcolm X - El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz has gained a secure position within the collective consciousness of Africans, oppressed peoples and workers worldwide.
His image proliferates in the urban areas of America and his name and spirit are often evoked in relation to the uncompromising character of the African-American struggle for total liberation from national oppression and economic exploitation. And, we at WBAI
are “building bridges” along with the efforts of the political heirs of Malcolm X to maintain the integrity and principled character of his legacy and further grow Malcolm X’s place in world history. Fifty-five years ago, more than a life of a great leader
was lost. The country also lost a chance to address the racial issues that continue to plague this nation.
