231 Words1 Page

While I found the speech to be very moving and motivational I view his methodology to be very abrupt. He stated that “which calls for Black people to control their own economic wealth.

In this forum Brother X also calls for keeping religion private, which I agree but on the same note Mr. always publicly prophase his relationship with the Nation of Islam.
