Malcolm X - Speeches
“The speeches with the Nation of Islam reflect his love for Elijah
Muhammad. The transition speeches represent his ever-expanding points
of view. The speeches after Islam represent his complete detachment
from Elijah Muhammad, and his almost complete points of view -- and
his dedication to using "any means necessary" to gain the freedom of
his African-American brothers and sisters.”
