The day Malcolm X died

“Maya. Maya.” Bailey spoke softly. “Let me tell you what’s going to happen. In a few years, there are going to be beautiful posters of Malcolm X, and his photographs will be everywhere. The same people who don’t give a damn now will lie and say they always supported him. And that very bartender, the one with the sword” – Bailey mispronounced the word as the bartender had done – “he will say, ‘Malcolm was a great man. I always knew he was a great man. A race man. A man who loved his people.'”
