Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”

For decades, the few privately held lands in the Whispering Pines area of Joshua Tree National Park were primarily owned by families who would visit to camp or take in the serene scenery, locals say. Then a new set of owners came in.
