“Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.” -- Malcolm X
I found this quote while reading an article about Thomas Hagan, formerly known as Talmadge X. He’s the man who looked Malcolm X in his eyes and proceeded to take his life and a big part of the Civil Rights Movement in the process.
On April 28 2010, after 16 unsuccessful parole attempts, Thomas Hagan will also be a free man.

Great quote.
Yep. I read about this. What's even more surprising is the fact that he really hasn't been 'incarcerated' for the longest, he's been able to go home and everything.
I think Malcolm X is one of the single most important figures in American history.
I agree. It upsets me that this man is free while Malcolm X is still dead. Talmadge X should be truly incarcerated for just as long
I need to check that out
