Malcolm X
I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.
Malcolm X
Any time the negro becomes involved in mature political action, then the resistance of the politicians who benefit from the exploited political system as it now stands will be forced to put, exercise more violent action to deprive the negro of his mature political action.
Malcolm X
