Malcolm X: Speeches at Harvard

Malcolm X spoke at the Harvard Law Forum on three significant occasions: in 1961 at the height of his involvement with the Black Muslims; in March of 1964 when he had just broken with the Black Muslims; and again in December 1964, soon after his extensive trip to Africa and only two months before his assassination. Here are the revolutionary ideas that made Malcolm X one of the most charismatic and influential African-American leaders of the 1960s. These speeches document Malcolm's progression from Black nationalism to internationalism, and are key to both understanding this singular man's extraordinary life and illuminating his cause.
