Anybody watching "Malcolm X" on HBO? I had not seen it to the end.

As I write this, the end is soon. I watched it all the way through for the first time. Brilliant filmmaking, and brilliant in its skepticism - and timeliness. Painful, though. We could have done so much better than we have. So very much.

1. i had seen it several times

if you really like the movie, then check out the autobiography as well, which has much more insight and detail

2. Mason High School; living in Lansing

My daughter went to Mason High School; there is a plaque in Lansing (Michigan)where Malcolm lived. I will indeed read the book. Are you talking Alex Haley?

4. I am there, for the "autobiography," which I tragically missed.

And so many thanks for the suggestion.
