Malcolm discovery of how black history was erased from books reminds me of times now. As a now adult I've learned more about my history through social media then I ever did in school.

Malcolm says that prison gave him "more freedom" because he had more time to gain knowledge by reading, but I wonder if he would've ever started reading that much if he never went to prison.

I relate to X when he says how he feels limited when you don't have the words to express yourself because sometimes I feel like I know what I mean in my head, but I don't know how to put it into words.

When Malcolm X talks about copying the dictionary word for word I'm surprised he's able to do that. I wouldn't have the patience to do that but it shows how bad he wanted knowledge.
