El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz's, aka Malcolm X, "The Ballot or the Bullet"

post by JuJuan Buford

This speech is without argument one of the most significant statements regarding the conditions that color the lives of people of African descent in this country in history. It is amazing just how relevant it is today. Lord knows we must teach our children this history or we are destined to continue to suffer under the tyranny (much of it self imposed) and spectacle of our dehumanization. There is a reason that the commercialism of Brother Malcolm just wasn't all that successful. It's just so difficult to do. Dag, Brother Malcolm was hard as he!!.
