Description

Malcolm X Speaks contains the major speeches of one of the most important leaders of the Black revolution. Malcolm X was one of the great orators of our time, delivering countless speeches about the Black experience in America, police brutality, voting rights, and more. His work as an activist changed the course of the Civil Rights movement in the United States, and continues to heavily influence activists to this day. "All but one of the speeches were made in those last eight months of his life after his break with the Black Muslims when he was seeking a new path. In their pages one can begin to understand his power as a speaker and to see the political legacy he left his people in its struggle for emancipation. Over and over again in simple imagery, savagely uncompromising, he drove home the real truth." -I.F. Stone, The New York Review of Books
