Malcolm X and the CRM • Radicalized groups of young black men in the CRM • Preached the idea of Equality by “any means necessary” • Malcolm X’s views were opposite to MLK’s – Saw nonviolent movement as hurting “the cause” Malcolm X Critical of MLK • “Who ever heard of angry revolutionists all harmonizing "We shall overcome ... Suum Day.. ." while tripping and swaying along arm-in-arm with the very people they were supposed to be angrily revolting against ? Who ever heard of angry revolutionists swinging their bare feet together with their oppressor in lily-pad park pools, with gospels and guitars and "I have a dream" speeches? And the black masses in America were - and still are - having a nightmare.” Malcolm X in reference to the March on Washington “If I have a cup of coffee that is too strong for me because it is too black, I weaken it by pouring cream into it. I integrate it with cream. If I keep pouring enough cream in the coffee, pretty soon the entire flavor of the coffee is changed; the very nature of the coffee is changed. If enough cream is poured in, eventually you don't even know that I had coffee in this cup. This is what happened with the March on Washington. The whites didn't integrate it; they infiltrated it. Whites joined it; they engulfed it; they became so much a part of it, it lost its original flavor. It ceased to be a black march; it ceased to be militant; it ceased to be angry; it ceased to be impatient. In fact, it ceased to be a march.” Malcolm X on seeking equality “Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.” “Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.” Malcolm X on Hajj • 1964, Malcolm X makes his pilgrimage to Mecca • Discovers that orthodox Muslims are nothing like the Nation of Islam • Guess what Orthodox Muslims preach? • EQUALITY FOR ALL RACES! • Malcolm begins to distrust the NoI – gets into fights with Elijah Muhammad over the true meaning of Islam • Malcolm X views of white people changes due to Hajj • Changed name to Malcolm Shabazz The Assassination • Feb. 21st 1965 • Gunned down by 3 black members of the Nation of Islam • Was shot 16 times • 3 men were arrested, all have been released from prison within the last 20 years
