Volume V of Audio Evidence honors freedom fighters Malcolm X & Yuri Kochiyama who were both born on the auspicious date of May 19th. This episode aims to highlight the audio evidence of Malcolm X after his travels abroad during the mid-1960’s, including to the holy city of Mecca. Many people seem to forget how impactful those travels were on Malcolm as he was becoming a burgeoning internationalist who was sought after by many other world leaders of his era. Yuri Kochiyama helps to contextualize what the impact of that time meant to Malcolm and his developing consciousness, both religiously and politically.
