Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X

I chose my Username after El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, better known as Malcolm X, whose life and words inspire me. I'm not related to or associated with Malik Zulu Shabazz of the so-called New Black Panther Party, except that we both chose our names in honor of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. On the other hand, if you've come across Malik Shabazz on an internet forum, that's probably me.

Places I've Lived

Travels

My wife and I are addicted to cruise vacations. We've had the pleasure of passing through the Panama Canal (twice), crossing the Atlantic, crossing the Equator (three times), the International Date Line (twice), and the Prime Meridian. We also traveled around Cape Horn; I'd like to say that we "rounded the Horn", but any comparison between our our luxurious accommodations and the harsh conditions faced by sailors on traditional sailing ships would make a mockery of that phrase. A week or more More than one day A day or so A few hours Never left the airport Upcoming trips ??? "One day"

Inspiring Quotes

“ If I weren't out here every day battling the white man, I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity—because you can hardly mention anything I'm not curious about. ” —Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X “ In such an ugly time the true protest is beauty. ” —Phil Ochs, Pleasures of the Harbor “ This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body. ” —Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
