CHAPTER 7 ~ Page 110
"We discussed our famliy, and what a shame it was that our book-loving oldest brother Wilfred had never had the chance to go to some of those big universities where he would have gone far. And we exchanged thoughts we had never shared with anyone."
This is another example of the deprived opportunities of the Negroes. Another wasted opportunity, just like Malcolm's and the lawyer dream, Wilfred has yet to fulfill his true potential by becoming a scholar at a big-name university. Contributing to this, not only racial issues, but the economic struggle (which, come to think about it, are directly and indirectly caused by racial issues).
Good insights - economic issues and racial issues often go hand in hand.
