peace,
i am not familiar with angela davis' story but malcolm x was a convict, who opened his hands and was given Islam, and thus became affiliated the NOI, if i'm not mistaken. they were/are known to be militant throughout the organization. so wouldnt his militant behaviors be a result or product of his peers/environment (the NOI) rather than the colour of his skin? just a speculation.
