Shots rang out in the Audubon Ballroom—and one of the most powerful voices in Black history was silenced. But while Malcolm X’s life was cut short, his legacy was never buried.

In this episode of Black Washed History, we don’t just mourn the man—we learn from him. From his early struggles and prison transformation to his pilgrimage to Mecca and evolution into a global human rights advocate, Malcolm X left behind a blueprint for personal power and collective liberation.

Join us as we uncover 10 timeless lessons Malcolm taught us about identity, truth, growth, and the fight for justice. His voice may have been silenced in 1965—but his message still echoes louder than ever.

📌 Topics Covered:

• The power of identity and self-knowledge
• How education freed Malcolm before the system ever did
• Why his pilgrimage to Mecca changed everything
• Growth, betrayal, and choosing integrity over comfort
• And why your voice may be your most powerful weapon
