I thought Malcolm X was terrifying when we compared him to Martin Luther King. I guess its just like I see young kids on television think that Bernie Sanders is scary to them. When in essence I think they're both very passionate about their subject matter.

An inspiring speaker. In that interview she was stressed. Thankfully she came through and went on to write and teach live a full life as a public intellectual.
