Breaking An UnEasy Silence - Malcolm Shabazz


"How do you [fill out an application at] Denny’s and put down Princeton and the Sorbonne as your education?"


These are the words of the young man that most of us remember as the grandson who started the fire that killed his grandmother, Betty Shabazz. He is referring to his mother, Qubilah in an interview by Aliya S. King for NewsOne and GIANT magazine.

Personally, I still find it difficult to even think about this young black man and the events that led up to the most horrendous of deaths - dying because you are trying to save the life of one you love.
