Name: Carl "The Truth" Williams
Favorite Book: "By Any Means Necessary" by Malcolm X "Sure, Malcolm can be divisive, but I don't take him that way. I take him to say, "Be a better man, better father, better community person." I took the positive out of this book. The divisive stuff never appealed to me. Nah, I never fell for that negative crap. His words, to me, were about moving forward. This book is a brilliant collection of writings and speeches that deals with the last year of his life and it contains some really interesting material. One thing I liked best is Malcolm saying: "Speak the language that they understand and there will be some understanding, because you can't ever reach a man if you don't speak his language." Yeah, I really like that. This book changed my thinking pattern and helped me move forward." |
