“I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don't believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn't want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn't know how to return the treatment.”
“Ignorance of each other is what has made unity impossible in the past. Therefore we need enlightenment. We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity. Once we have more knowledge (light) about each other, we will stop condemning each other and a United front will be brought about.”
“I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone, and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. I believe that there will be that kind of clash, but I don't believe it will be based on the color of the skin.”
After a transformative pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964, Malcolm X’s views evolved, and he began advocating for global human rights and unity between races.
Born Malcolm Little, he adopted the name “Malcolm X” to symbolize his lost African heritage, with “X” representing the unknown.
Malcolm X was a prominent African American civil rights leader who advocated for black empowerment, self-defense, and racial justice during the 1960s.
Tragically, he was assassinated in 1965 while speaking at a rally in New York City, but his legacy continues to inspire movements for racial equality and social justice.
