Im For Truth No Matter Who

Recorded by Alex Haley in the epilogue to The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1965), where Haley quotes these words after hearing Malcolm X speak on a college campus. The full passage reads: "I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against. I'm a human being first and foremost, and as such I am for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole." It reflects the universalist shift in Malcolm X's thinking after his 1964 pilgrimage to Mecca, when he moved beyond racial separatism toward a broader conception of human rights.
