I worked. Normally sched. day. It was offered as a holiday, but double time is tough to turn down. Quite honestly its not a holiday for me. But then niether is Labor Day, Columbus day or any of a host of others. Pretty much Thanks giving Christmas memorial day and the 4th are the only ones I care about.

Malcolm left the NOI, completely separated himself from it. Farrahkan leads the organization. I highly recommend Malcolm's autobiography.

I have absolutely no respect for Malcolm X. I don't agree with having MLK day. I personally had to work and do everything I do on every other day.

Strange how someone can tell you what Malcolm was like, obviously not knowing the whole story. I would be embarrassed to make a statement without doing my homework.
