On Malcolm X Day, a Centennial Call to Action and Remembrance

Today is National Day, a moment to honor one of the most fearless and visionary leaders in .

Malcolm X was born on May 19, 1925 — he would have turned 100 years old this coming Monday.

The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., left, of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Malcolm X, head of a new group known as Muslim Mosque, Inc., smile for photographers March 26, 1964, at the Capitol. They shook hands after King announced plans for “direct action” protests if Southern senators filibuster against the civil rights bill. Malcolm X, who has broken with the Black Muslims, predicted another march on Washington if a filibuster against the civil rights drags on. (AP Photo/Henry Griffin)

As we reflect on his centennial year, we remember a man who spoke truth to power — without apology. Malcolm X demanded justice, dignity and liberation for Black people “by any means necessary.”

His challenges us not just to remember him, but to act — to speak boldly, organize strategically and walk in our power.

Today, we don’t just honor his memory — we carry his mission. Even a hundred years later, Malcolm’s voice still echoes in the struggle for freedom.
