Malcolm X - 1925 - 1965

Today in 1965, Malcolm X was shot and killed while speaking in New York.
He was 39 years old at the time of his death....the same age I am now.
The clip I'm about to include is one that I always found very interesting. In it, Malcolm discusses the fact that the Nation Of Islam had been threatening to kill him, yet somehow, even in the face of what could be, and would be impending doom, he still finds a way to smile about the circumstances.

That's not something I think I could deal with so easily at 39.
