About this quote
This saying has a disputed origin — Quote Investigator traces close precursors to writings from 1926 and 1945, and the British journalist Alex Hamilton used a near-identical line in a 1978 radio broadcast. The phrase was commonly attributed to Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Alexander Hamilton, but no verified primary source links it specifically to Malcolm X's recorded speeches or writings.
