Amiri Baraka and Marvin X enjoyed 47 years of friendship and revolutionary cultural work. "Amiri was my brother, mentor, comrade, associate, elder, mentor, but, most of all, a brother like no other.Thank you, Baraka family, for allowing me to share your love and revolutionary consciousness."
The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Message to the Black Man in America. Yes, my leader and teacher who raised me up from being deaf, dumb and blind, as he did for so many others, yes, the million X's you never heard about. Of those you heard about, let us mention Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, Muhammad Ali, Warith Din, and the millions of X's he raised from the grave of ignorance and their severe condition of deaf, dumb and blind to knowledge of self and kind. Elijah said, "Self first!Do for self and kind first, then help others."
