A Revolutionary Leader

“I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those that 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 systems of exploitation.” — Malcolm X

Malcolm X’s revolutionary thoughts and actions reshaped the Civil Rights Movement. A fierce advocate for Black empowerment and justice, his speeches continue to inspire those fighting racial inequality. With his unflinching critique of systemic oppression, Malcolm X’s legacy has helped to foster a global movement for racial justice that transcends borders, making his work more relevant than ever.
