Book Details

In the early 1960s, the Federal government decided to look into the background of all of Malcolm Little’s family. I believe to explore whether or not they posed a threat, or out of fear and/or ignorance. It was then that my family was harassed by the local racist groups, and the local klan leader voiced his dislike for anyone who was related to Malcolm Little. I don’t know whether I am related to Malcolm X, I really don’t care, but our local klan leader did care, and he voiced his thoughts openly and soon afterwards, Jet Magazine was at our plantation looking to get its story out to the public about my family. My personal life has been purely traumatic for even simply mentioning that I was related to Malcolm X. The article in Jet Magazine brought my family more pain and humiliation and is directly related to the family’s migration up north trying to escape to a better life. Life up north was for sure much better, but the systemic racism, hate and discrimination followed me everywhere and is the cause of this book, which is my personal story. Pushing forward a case not supported by probable cause and using fabricated evidence, now federal judge Stephen Limbaugh Jr., prosecuting attorney Larry Ferrell, Missouri Attorney General John Ashcroft, and the Cape Girardeau Police Department are all guilty of systemic racism and discrimination and their own court records are the proof I provide as evidence to this miscarriage of justice.
