Recommended Malcolm X book #1: “The Last Year of Malcolm X: The Evolution of a Revolutionary” by George Breitman (1967).

“By the editor of three volumes of Malcolm X speeches, all published by Pathfinder Press: Malcolm X Speaks (1965), Malcolm X on Afro-American History (1967) and By Any Means Necessary (1970).

This book is a full-scale study of Malcolm X’s political development after he left the nation of Islam. The author analyzes the split between Malcolm and Elijah Muhammad, the evolution of Malcolm’s views on organizing the Black community, on making alliances, and on questions of separatism and Black nationalism. The appendix contains the programmatic statement of the Organization of Afro-American Unity, founded by Malcolm X shortly before his [assassination], and a bibliography listing of books, pamphlets, tapes, and records. ”

Don’t tell us that it’s impossible and that there is no budget for glitter. Give us a wheel to reinvent. … We are more than the sum of our parts. We get presidents elected.

Wonderful manifesto for the creative class, a term coined by Richard Florida in his 2002 modern classic The Rise of the Creative Class. Second only to the cinematic Holstee LifeCycle manifesto.

Pair with 5 manifestos for the creative life.

#FASHION: FOR LOVE & LEMONS PRE-FALL 2013 LOOKBOOK

Like a Movie – For its summer/pre-fall 2013 lookbook, Los Angeles based label For Love & Lemons is inspired by the cult classic “Cry-Baby,” starring Johnny Dep.

As Fashion Gone Rogue aptly puts it, “By day, Daria is a preppy dream in demure white and pastel hues. But by night, her rebellious side comes out with electric hues and dark, skin-baring silhouettes.”
