Malcolm X (Denzel Washington) with Sam Cooke

sniffling and holding back tears as I finish "Malcolm X" (Denzel Washington) with my students ...

  1. I know Malcolm knew that saying this speech was a big risk, but I wonder if he could feel that on that day it would be his last. I'm so grateful for all the people who contributed to racial tolerance and justice, especially living in South Florida where I'm proud to say that there is a lot of diversity. It's so sad that racism still exist even after decades later of sacrifices and influences like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and so many more people.

  2. Most of the movies that we saw in class were really good but,I feel like Malcolm X truly showed how religion can really change a person's life for the better.

  8. Overall, the film was amazing. There was a foreshadow when Betty advices Malcolm to not even trust his own people. Days later, one of his own fanatics kills Malcolm.

  11. This was definitely the best film that was shown in class this semester. To be honest before watching this film in class I didn't know much about Malcolm X but after watching this movie I see how big of an influence he was for equality and admire him for that.

  13. I learned a lot about who Malcolm X was as a person and what he believed in. He truly did change a lot of peoples lives in a positive way and now i understand why he is such an important figure to the African American community today.
