Malcolm X
It's liberty or it's death. It's freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody.
Malcolm X
The day that the black man takes an uncompromising step and realizes that he's within his rights, when his own freedom is being jeopardized, to use any means necessary to bring about his freedom or put a halt to that injustice, I don't think he'll be by himself.
Malcolm X
Growing is the result of learning.
Malcolm X

Malcolm X
Nobody should teach the black man in America to turn the other cheek, unless someone is teaching the white man in America to turn the other cheek.
Malcolm X

Malcolm X
When you are equal with another person, the problem of integration doesn't even arise.
Malcolm X
