Did you know the desire to escape slavery, was once classified as a mental illness called Drapetomania in 1851. Black people were considered mentally ill for refusing to live in bondage.

I love how Malcolm was an avid photographer and always had his camera on hand, to document or capture things. It's a side of him rarely discussed or shown but he was artistic in many ways; with a deep love for music especially rooted in an immense curiosity that shaped his being.
