About this quote

Spoken at the Militant Labor Forum in New York City on January 7, 1965, in a speech titled "Prospects for Freedom in 1965," just six weeks before Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965. By this late period in his life, he had broken with the Nation of Islam and broadened his philosophy toward pan-Africanism and human rights, arguing that the Black struggle in America was part of a global movement for freedom.
