Hello all,
My name is Malcolm Xavier Gaye. I am 27 years young. I live in the small town of Havertown, Pennsylvania. I am only a short (approximately one hour) ride outside of the bustling city of Philadelphia where I have begun working at the Institute for Colored Youth as a part-time teacher.
My wife of 8 years, La'Quisha and I have two children, DeAndre (age 4) and Babila (age 7). As Babila approaches the age of schooling I hope to some how manage to get him an education, for education is the key to freedom and success. My father, Marvin Gaye, was a slave who escaped his way to freedom before I was born and he implemented education upon me.
Quite frankly, I am very fortunate for my job and oppurtunity. It allows my family to live a decent life, but by no means do we have any perks. I am very active in the abolitionist community and I am working my way up the anti-slavery activism totem pole.
