Summary:

Malcolm X gave Black Americans not only their consciousness, but their history, their dignity, and a new pride. When, in 1965, Malcolm X was gunned down on the stage of a Harlem theater, America lost one of its eminent political thinkers.

Here, in his own words, are the revolutionary ideas that made Malcolm X one of the most charismatic and influential leaders in American history. They are the thoughts of a determined leader during a turbulent, sometimes impossible time, and invaluable in understanding not only the historical context of the Civil Rights Movement but also contemporary identity and culture in the United States. These speeches document Malcolm's progression from Black nationalism to internationalism, and are key to understanding both his extraordinary life and illuminating his angry yet uplifting cause.
