26-year-old Mariah Parker says that she's going to bring racial justice to the county.
“They asked if they would like the Bible and I said no. My mother asked if there was a copy of the Constitution around. No,” Parker said, according to AJC. “I wanted Malcolm’s book. I think they saw it coming.”
Parker said that she sees the parallels between herself and Malcolm X. She has struggled with mental health issues and overcame substance abuse, according to AJC.
She is now getting her doctorate in language and literacy education.
“Having seen the transformation of someone who came through a difficult background to become vocal and push conversations on race in a radical way is powerful,” Parker told AJC. “Then he shifted course and saw race in a different lens as he got older. And the fact that he was arguably killed for his politics. These are things that I want to embrace.”

The 60s called, and they want their Afro fright wig back.
Ha! I thought the same thing. That pic is hilarious!
Is that a picture of Denzel or a picture of Malcom? At any rate, the woman may not be all that bad if she strives to be like the older Malcom. You know, the guy who said that the Black Muslems of Chicago were corrupt.

It only took Farrakhan 35+ years to even admit that his words “may” have caused his acolytes to shoot X.
As opposed to a murder for hire that everyone else suspected.
