1965: Malcolm X is assassinated at age 39 while speaking at a rally in New York City.

1975: Watergate scandal figures John Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman are sentenced to at least two and a half years for conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

I remember those two but really wasn't interested in the Malcolm X one and I really wasn't into Watergate that much either but do remember it. Thanks for bringing those to mind.

Malcom X I always confused with Che Guavera, the Nation of Islam, interesting, the secret of politics is to back the winner, shot dead by the Nation of Islam because he went against multiple wives, well I can understans that, what was he a s'mug?.

I would never do that in my Caliph**e.

Seriously I apologize for coarse C*******t comments we can't always restraints our past sometime it up and overcomes what's now, apart from that Malcom God rest his Soul, he was a true believer in what should be right, but he motivated people to do stupid things speaking of which Trump is no better.

The time frame between 1998 when Chavez came to power marked the beginning of empowerment for the Venezuelan poor people so till 2014 they went from rags to riches, because the System directed all that resource boom profits to poor Venezuelans.

Its like now they are being put back in the poor house if you were on $ 27 an hour lost your job got a new one on $12 an hour your going to be resentful.

Malcom X should have concentrated on economics and he could have made a better contribution by picking the winner, the people who shot him dead were the losers there is no more Nation of Islam, Sunni Islam didn't want him you can't join the Caliph**e as an outsider unless your the Caliph.
