4. Humanize everyone. When asked about Malcolm X in an interview, Dr. Angelou spoke of his keen sense of humor. She spoke of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s sense of humor as well, though she stated that she knew Malcolm X a lot better than she knew Dr. King. To respond with a reflection about humor when asked about two of the greatest civil rights leaders in our country’s history is bold. Dr. Angelou went on to explain that she believes in the importance of humanizing these deep political figures to create attainability among younger generations. How else will young people learn from and really understand these men and their true dreams while viewing them on such an elevated level? We all understand humor, and imagining Dr. King or Malcolm X cracking a joke and laughing with their friends and family members truly aids in imagining them as human beings. All humans are reachable. No one should be considered unattainable
