“You will not catch me with a free 15 minutes, in which I’m not studying something that I feel might be able to help the Black man. Yesterday I spoke in London, and both ways on the plane across the Atlantic, I was studying. Every time I catch a plane, I have with me a book that I want to read, and that’s a lot of books these days, If I wasn’t out here battling the white man everyday, I could spend the rest of my life reading. Reading changed the course of my life forever. I didn’t go to college, my alma mater was books.”| Malcolm X
