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.

Malcolm X His Transformations and a introduction to Malcolm through reviewing some of the critical scholarship on Malcolm X.
DR. ASA HILLIARD, III The former Fuller E. Callaway Professor of Urban Education has said the following about Dr. Oba T'Shaka's book The Political Legacy of Malcolm X "Oba T'Shaka has written a book which dwarfs all other writings on Malcolm X. Both Alex Haley and George Breitman suggest that Malcolm made fundamental changes in his position toward the end. It is T'Shaka's contention, and it is this contention that his work documents, that the substance of Malcolm's thought did not change, even though the form may have changed. A careful reading of T'Shaka's book will show that he has eclipsed both of these writers, one of whom has an international reputation."
Dr. Nathan Hare, Clinical Psychologist, Sociologist and Innovator of the Discipline of Black Studies, said ot Dr. Oba T'Shaka's book The Political Legacy of Malcolm X: "For Oba T'Shaka's good work in the organization and uplift of African and African American peoples, he has achieved both national and international eminence. Had I not already regarded Oba T'Shaka as one of the key social philosophers in the Afro-American race today, a reading of this manuscript on the life and death of Malcolm X would have been instructive to me. Its careful even meticulous scholarship is reminiscent of W.E.B. Dubois', The Philadelphia Negro."
Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, noted author, scholar and public intellectual in The New York Times Book Review section, reviewed all the major books on Malcolm X, and ranked The Political Legacy of Malcolm X number one In his review of Dr. T'Shaka's book he wrote: "The Political Legacy of Malcolm X is a clear exposition of Malcolm's political ideas as a revolutionary black nationalist."

Title track from the new album "Heiwa" by multi-instrumentalist Mansur Brown. Something different...
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.

Comment your country and write: ONE AFRICA.
The future is CONTINENTAL.
The time is NOW!
