Reviews

[Nnamdi Azikiwe · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was given this book when I had been asking about the speech "Politics Without Economics Is Symbol Without Substance." The concept of linking politics with economics is powerfully liberating. Anyone who would seed to engage in social justice activism without involving an economic aspect is not dealing with the full measure of issues at work.

I gave this book five stars because I remember the time when Minister Farrakhan went around the country giving the speech. There was so much opposition to his presentation it actually spawned curiosity as to his message.

It was disappointing to learn the Million Man March never embraced the message of that speech. Were would we be if it had?
