The Future Belongs To Those Who

A condensed version of the statement Malcolm X made at the founding rally of the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) on June 28, 1964 — the same speech that produced the "education is the passport" formulation (spoken in the same breath). The full sentence reads: "Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs only to the people who prepare for it today." Both variants circulate independently but derive from a single passage in that address.
