Malcolm X interview with Barry Gray; March 10, 1960


Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother, Louise Norton Little, was a homemaker occupied with the family’s eight children. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken Baptist minister and avid supporter of Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. Earl’s civil rights activism prompted death threats from the white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to relocate twice before Malcolm’s fourth birthday.

Melaneyes Media is an independent film company based in San Antonio, TX. We are committed to providing knowledge-based Black cultural films, projects and products relevant to the African Diaspora.

Melaneyes ( mĕl′ə-nīz )

Is a play on the term “melanize” which means to blacken, or to infuse with melanin. Melanin is the chemical substance that gives dark people our skin pigmentation.

We altered the spelling to include “eyes” because we are a film company and ultimately what we create is of a visual nature. As human beings, 70% of our sensory receptors are in our eyes so visual content affects us in a way that shapes our world view and touches our emotions.

We want to infuse your eyes with melanin (metaphorically) meaning, to blacken your vision so that you look at the world from a Black perspective as opposed to a Eurocentric view of the the world; especially as it relates to history.

#Nkrumahism is so powerful mainstream colonial educationalists are intent on demonising and exorcising him from the curriculum.

Knowledge of Nkruhamism will expose why the urgent need exist to decolonise the national curriculum both in Africa and the diaspora and will lead to the abandonment of a colonial education. Nkrumah's philosophy and ideology of decolonising and developing Africa in its own interest and in its own image is so powerful that 50 years on, Ghana continues to wrestles to keep his teachings out of academia.

Indulge in the teachings the West is afraid Africans will get hold of and want to apply across the continent in its struggle for total liberation.

⁣This is not just music.
This is a declaration!

Today, at the heart of a world that is going crazy, where sovereign leaders are being kidnapped right from their sovereign countries and wars being perpetrated through false pretence and condemnations, resulting in innocent human beings loosing their lives, we are taking our responsibility. We are calling for all our African leaders to make The United States of Afrika a reality.

So from today, March 4th (march forth) we are calling on all African consciences, whether at home or abroad to engage and ask our African leaders to STAND UP and DO THE RIGHT THING to save Africa and Africans from the madness and actual real threat to life anywhere on the planet,, let alone Africa.

So we here present an instrumental anthem — a proposed future national anthem for the upcoming United States of Afrika, that is now more than a must. IT IS URGENTLY A MUST!.

We have created an anthem, sound that represents OUR DEMANDS from all our African leaders:

We demand:

• One Nation
• One Economy
• One Passport
• One Army
• One Shared Currency
• One Voice in Global Policy
• One Flag
• One National Anthem
• Free Movement Across All Union States

Africa stands at a historic crossroads. With over 1.4 billion people, the youngest population in the world, and the largest emerging free trade zone under the African Continental Free Trade Area, the structural foundations for continental unity already exist.

The framework is present through the African Union.

What remains is collective will.

This instrumental piece is offered as an example — a sound that could one day represent a united, sovereign, powerful continental federation.

If you believe in:
A borderless Africa.
An economically integrated Africa.
A politically coordinated Africa.
A globally respected Africa.

The future is CONTINENTAL.
The time is NOW!
