Reading Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress and Lies my teacher told me is really educating. The five things I found quite interesting, strange and of importance in the former is:
Media and NY Times attributed the ringleader and creation of this phantom hate group to Malcolm X. Formally Malcolm X stated, “I considered all Negroes my ‘Blood Brothers,’ and that Negroes are banning together!” He said in one of his speeches, “That Harlem is living in a police state?” and was asked, {“Mr. Malcolm you have suggested that they are all kinds of movements in Harlem growing that you and I don’t know about?”} Malcolm replied “Oh yes, frustration itself was sufficient and all that was necessary to make Negros realize the importance of banning together-and Negros are banning together.”{“Banning together in what kind of movement?”} (Malcolm continuing) “Different kinds of movements-all kinds of movements, and they remain almost invisible they remain almost unknown-but yet they are there.” “When I say invisible I mean invisible in the since that their existence are unknown.” “And no matter how much you try to track them down-you can’t find them. And never try to find them through the Negro leaders.” “The Negro leaders are famous as an apologist.” “As you recall one of the most famous Negro leaders in 1959 was asked by you about the Black Muslim movement, and he said he knew nothing about it, and the next moment you flashed a picture on the screen with him shaking hands with me (Referring to Roy Wilkins).”-“So this is their
Regardless of the psychological injuries he sustained in his youth, Malcolm X was among the best understudies in his class. Unfortunately he grew to resent his white educators and companions, whom he realized did not view him as their equivalent, but rather as their "mascot." As his enthusiasm for scholarly study disappeared, he quit school in the wake of finishing eighth grade. Living in Boston, New York City, and later Detroit, he held a few low-paying jobs. To fit into his new urban environment, Malcolm changed his outward appearance. As "Detroit Red," a name derived from his light skin and red hair. He survived the following days as a pimp, drug dealer, and hustler.
After Father completed his “March of the Decades” from the 1890s through the 1970s, he figured in 1979 at age 92, that his recollections were complete – but he lived another decade! His family thought that period would be equally worth recalling, so they contributed their various memories to this final chapter of his life.
Unlike most people Malcolm’s life started off extremely rough and ended with bang. Growing up life was hard for him with his family not being for him. Which later became ok since he was then later visited by his siblings which lead to his great spiritual change. Ultimately he then had another change of heart as far his spiritual side which then abruptly ended his life.
The god of air and storms, “He decreed the fates, his command could not be altered, and he was the god who granted kingship.” (oracc.museum.upenn.edu/amgg/listofdeities/enlil/) Enlil is in several myths involving his son ninurta. The myth of Enlil and Ninlil is about Enlil's serial seduction of the goddess Ninlil in various guises, resulting in the conception of the moon-god Nanna and the underworld deities Nergal,Ninazu,and Enbil.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enbilulu) He held the tables of destiny.
My brother is a white man, my father is a white man and my father’s father is a white man. Myself and this country were both created by white men. This project is to explore the current and historic white male supremacy in the United States of America and how it has directly and indirectly affected myself and the fellow people of this country who do not identify as white men. In US history, white men are the most visibly represented, however through their process of creating a nation they have destroyed many things along the way. White male supremacy has become normalized and invisible to the average American through actions, like educating young children on Christopher Columbus as a hero instead of the murder he really was.

He was a key spokesman for the Nation of Islam and played a huge role during the civil rights movement for African Americans. X preached pride and wanted to increase economic opportunities for the black African American community.
“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind” (Orwell, George). Politics has been practiced since the beginning of humanity, it has been crucial to decide who rules, who makes the rules, and what rights do people possess. Over time people have been divided either due to their beliefs or their desires, with each group striving to have more power and control in a governed society. People have sought many ways to get what they want, they have protested, debated, schemed and worst of all, murdered. Man has proven that he is willing to do the worst crime against humanity in order to achieve his goals, and not just that, but to justify to his conscience and

It starts out moving to Washington, Ellen G. White spoke out in favor of Washington after looking into possibilities in New Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island, and up the Hudson River from New York City. She told the public that,” Adventist were not afraid to let their light shine.” Later on Daniells, he was another member of the committee wanted to leave Battle Creek, Michigan. Ellen G. White said that Adventist should become as firmly anchored anywhere as they had been in Battle Creek. This means that we shouldn’t be held back in a location where we leave we should be moving and telling people about God and sharing our experiences with others and having them.
