Malcolm X
I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.
Malcolm X
Here I am, back in Mecca. I am still traveling, trying to broaden my mind, for I've seen too much of the damage narrow-mindedness can make of things, and when I return home to America, I will devote what energies I have to repairing the damage.
Malcolm X
The only possible way out for the white man is to give us Negroes some land of our own let us get out, get away from his wicked reign and go for ourselves.
Malcolm X
I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don’t see any American dream I see an American nightmare.
Malcolm X
I saw all races, all colors, blue eyed blonds to black skinned Africans in true brotherhood! In unity! Living as one! Worshiping as one! No segregationists, no liberals they would not have known how to interpret the meaning of those words
