Cassius X is not stealing from Malcolm it was what was done by the group. Just as if someone uses Sugar in boxing does not mean they stole it from Ray Robinson.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
His Mother,
Who brought Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. into this World, never accepted it.
That's good enough for me.

"Oh, Cassius has been calling himself all sorts of names since he was little. He wanted to be
Mickey Mantle, then Willie Mays. But he couldn't really play Baseball. He wasn't that good in
Sports, other than Boxing."
"He wanted to be Jack Johnson. Sometimes he wanted to be Jack Dempsey, and other
times it was Floyd Patterson. He always wrote those names on his sweatshirt when he
went to the boxing matches."
"For a while, he was calling himself 'Young Jack Johnson'. I thought that was funny,
because Jack Johnson was really flamboyant, and my son was so reserved and shy."
"But this name changing stuff. Oh it's just a phase to get some publicity. If it doesn't work,
he will come up with another name. But, no matter what, he will always be Cassius to me."

Did he change it legally Bill? No matter how you dress it up, a pig is still a pig. Your wrong. If you wish to continue being wrong that's your prerogative but don't try to correct others when your ignorance keeps you completely awry of the facts.
Mothers are never wrong.

Cassius is a beautiful name, Haye named his son after him, but Clay was the slave name which he wanted to change.

Andre,
Are you aware that John Astin was a horrible 'Riddler'.
It would be as if .......... Cassius Clay played 'Gomez'

John really did love Carolyn Jones but alas.
