In this week’s reading, Malcom X suggested to Lewis and Lewis’s close friend Don Harris that they should shift the conversation in America from one of race to one of class, both among African Americans and between whites and blacks. Malcom X believed the root of the problems in both Africa and America was class based more than race.

In this week’s post, reflect on that position. Do you think the issues both then and now are more about class than race? Why would class cause such a division? Is it still causing divisions today? How do you feel about class? Do a bit of research and see where you land on the question of race vs class.
