Malcolm-Jamal Warner
He was 54 years old but that was still too young to go. He starred as Theodore Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show'. He was asphyxiated and he drowned. It's sad because he's no longer around.

Malcolm
I’m pulling this Earth towards me, as I’m as heavy as the stars, I feel so out of place, home only in my scars. It is a wish, that someday I’d belong, until then, smile wide and hope I’d be strong.

Malcolm X
It is not as simple as merely changing one's name You must understand the cauldron before that came And the hustler's hair caught fire burning into red anguish And the water is disconnected to out the wish Something about a mother's prayer and father's faith Like all the islands were one Caribbean state Jamaica and St Kitts came together beautifully in...
