Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Today is the 37th anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X, one of the greatest this country saw in the last century. He was shot to death as he spoke before a packed audience in Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom on February 21, 1965. He was just 39 years old. We air videotaped speech that he delivered one week before he was assassinated. It is called “The Last Message.”
