The Battle of Baltimore. On June 18,1812, the United States declared war on England, then the greatest power on earth, to preserve Free Trade and Sailors' Rights.. The British, while at war with France, had interfered with our trade and had boarded American ships, pressing our sailors into service on their ships.
In 1963 Malcolm X began a collaboration with Alex Haley on his life story, The Autobiography of Malcolm X. He told Haley, If I'm alive when this book comes out, it will be a miracle.. Haley completed and published it some months after the assassination.
Then he was killed. My understanding is the one responsible for killing Malcolm X is Louis Farrakhan. His wife Betty Shabazz thought so too. When rappers like Snoop Dogg go and kiss Louis Farrakhanâs ring, theyâre probably elevating the murderer of Malcolm X himself.
