Fun Fact: Ava DuVernay's 13th documentary is the very first inspiration for By Any Reads. It sparked this urge to continue learning the history that wasn't taught or emphasized in school.

Seeing my passion, a friend suggested Malcolm X's autobiography as a literary start - and here we are.

Happy Birthday, Ava!

Denzel Washington + Kingsley Ben-Adir as Malcolm X

“As an actor going into a role that has been done famously, you’re just praying that it’s a different take and a different version and a different vibe,” Ben-Adir said on playing Malcolm X in One Night in Miami. (Indie Wire)

Once thing about Malcolm X is you could count on him to speak his mind:

"The government has failed us; you can't deny that. Anytime you live in the twentieth century, 1964, and you're walking around here singing We Shall Overcome, the government has failed us. This is part of what's wrong with you — you do too much singing. Today it's time to stop singing and start swinging. You can't sing up on freedom, but you can swing up on some freedom. Cassius Clay can sing, but singing didn't help him to become the heavyweight champion of the world; swinging helped him become the heavyweight champion."

The Ballot or the Bullet (1964) - Speech in Detroit, Michigan (12 April 1964)

That time Barack Obama said it was "a gift to breathe the same air as [Toni Morrison], if only for a while."

Birthday love to him! I know his bookshelf is probably incredible. 📖
