Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #137 “BY ANY MEANS!”

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #137 “BY ANY MEANS!” …The Malcolm X Speech and Ossie Davis Eulogy! Good Sunday morning to everyone who decided to check in on the Round 12 Podcast again today. Last week’s episode was a presentation of the famous Martin Luther King Jr., “I have a Dream Speech.” When I decided to present this important historical speaking event, I felt it wouldn’t be complete without appropriate credit and recognition to one of the most important change agents the United States and the world has ever known… Malcolm X! This, his 1964 speech at the founding rally of the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), was the beginning of the end for him. Shortly after this event he was assassinated while speaking in the same building. Included in the episode are the words of his Eulogy, spoken originally by the illustrious actor and activist, Mr. Ossie Davis. Yes, there are many of us who heard about or saw the Spike Lee Movie called, Malcolm X, which received rave reviews… but even after all these years, this man Malcolm X is still one of the most misunderstood, revered and simultaneously reviled men of all time. So, I felt compelled to give this African American man, his fair and equitable moment here with me on my humble journey. My hope and my goal are to take historical perspectives like these and learn from them, so I can continue to do my part to Make Our World a Better Place to Live In. Wish me luck! …And as always, I wish you Peace. BE SURE TO CLICK THE ATTACHED LINK TO SEE OUR DETAILED INFORMATIONAL EMAIL OR TO SUBSCRIBE: https://conta.cc/3NpLS1e Intro & Outro Music Provided by...
