Make It Plain

Growing up white, from the south, and evangelical I never heard much about Malcom. What little I did vilified and obscured any sense of the historical or real Malcom. The two seasons of this podcast with Mr. Gray and Mr. Holmes and additionally listening to X's autobiography have changed that. You are doing yourself a service to listen to these brothers. Make space to hear from their lives and the wisdom they bring to discussing Malcom's life and his all too prescient comments on our times and society. You will be challenged, you will laugh, and you may cry at hearing the depth of human injustice our fellow countrymen have endured. But there is hope, the most profoundly good thing I can say about this podcast is it is deeply Christian. The sort that is good, true, and beautiful. And can walk into the hardest of subjects and bring hope as the light of Christ is shone there.

I appreciate the content of this podcast and how it interweaves history with contemporary cultural analysis. I also love the podcasters voices, it makes it easy to listen to.

Thank you so much for opening this conversation in the Christian community. A lot of people are wary about Malcolm because of the way he has been presented, but I really appreciate the way the hosts take his evaluations and focus them toward the church, there is still so much to learn. Their tone also does not seem to be one of arrogance or pride to me, but one of sincerely wanting to help the church grow toward Christ. This has been so informative to me as a social work major, and something that will influence my work going forward!

I love realness of it
