Malcolm X speaking at the Oxford Union in 1967

This is the speech of Malcolm's in which he said one of his most well-known phrases (and one of my favorites): "I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he’s wrong, than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil." A while back I was searching for this quote, yet all I found out was that it was spoken during his Oxford Union adress in 1967. I couldn’t find anywhere the text for this speech, either in my own literature, or online.

This book, Negroes with Guns, documents how the black community in Monroe, North Carolina, under the leadership of Robert Williams, decided to take up the policy of violent self-defense. His account of the success of this policy goes to show you how wrong the "so-called negro leaders" (Malcolm X's phrase) were.

Assata Shakur was a black panther (and later a member of the Black Liberation Army, a group formed by former Panthers after the demise of the Black Panther Party), one of the most famous, who was framed up by the FBI like so many other black revolutionaries in ameriKKKa. After being imprisoned for four years, comrades of hers broke her out of prison and several years later she escaped ameriKKKa altogether and claimed political asylum in Cuba (like many other Panthers and african revolutionaries) where she now lives.

I have quoted several times already on my other blog Al-Amin's autobiography "Die Nigger Die!" and before I present the book I would like to explain the off putting title, in Al-Amin's words: "Negroes and whites have wished death to all Blacks, to all niggers. Their sentiment is “Die Nigger Die!” – either by becoming a negro or by institutionalization or active genocide." Al-Amin was a well known leader in the civil rights struggle and later became an important figure in the Black Panthers.
