Make it Plain returns for a new series on the 61st anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X. For this first episode we are featuring Malcolm's speech in 1962 in LA to rally protest the police killing of Nation of Islam member Ronald Stokes. We always say to listen to Malcolm, so we are running the speech in full (all proceeds to the Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz Education Center in Harlem, from this episode). Kehinde opens talking about the death of Jesse Jackson and reflecting on the age of the Southern Wolf, where the racism on both sides of the Atlantic is right in your face.

For US Black History Month get your copy of Kehinde's book on Malcolm X Nobody Can Give You Freedom. Watch the documentary at: https://youtu.be/7ZBZyaruoGo?si=zzDwdNZtI1WrA3J2
