Malcolm X was assassinated at about 3:00p. Four hours later, cleaning women scrubbed down his blood to make way for the the evening's show.

The Audubon never even closed it doors after Malcolm X was assassinated. So, no, I'm not heading over there to commemorate him today.

Although I get why people would go. I get that.
-
I think that today, I'll read some of Malcolm X's own words and remember how much his legacy has affected me—a non-black Latina.
-
And I'll do it by allowing myself to be discomforted by some of what Malcolm X says. That, it seems, was always part of point.
