I honestly don't know who I should do for this monologue. Right now it is a challenge between Muhammad Ali, Marvin Gaye, or Malcolm X. But they are such historical people who I think I may not live up to there tragedy. I know I should be thinking positive about these things, but I learned that you have to be realistic and truthful about what you're getting into. So the truth is I don't know which one of the three I should do. Or should I keep looking for more tragic celebrities?
The three M's have experienced a lot of tragedy in their lives which is hard to believe they survived. Except one, which is Marvin Gaye! Marvin Gaye made tragic history when he was murdered by his own father. Long story short, man (Marvin's father) yells at his wife (Marvin's mother). Son (Marvin), defending his mother, yells back at father. Father yells at son. Son strikes his father. Father murders son. I mean how tragic does it get when you are murdered by your own father. I am not sure if I want to challenge myself as this icon.
Another one of the three is Muhammad Ali. What's tragic about him... hmmmm? Well let me tell you, he has been diagnosed with the Parkinson Syndrome for over 26 yrs. The cause of his diagnose was believed to be triggered from his loss during the match with Larry Homes, another famous boxer, who severely injured Ali and caused him to have a head trauma. I am not sure if I want to challenge this icon either.
The last one of the three is Malcolm X. Malcolm X was against white violence! Showing that he was against this, Malcolm became an advocate and a precursor of the black movement. But what's tragic about him? Because he was black in the 60's, racism was a curse during these times. Malcolm suffered death threats, extortions, and later suffered an assassination. OMG....This is all very overwhelming for me. Another icon who is a challenge! Can I really do this? Which one of the three M's will I choose?
