Malcolm X's 'The Ballot or The Bullet' is possibly the greatest speech I've ever heard

I didn't read this in school like a lot of my friends did, but I recently finished it and was literally telling my Mom about Malcolm X's courage and growth as a person when this video got published today. Great timing!

The Autobiography of Malcolm X should be taught in every high school.

I read the autobiography 30 years ago. It literally changed me! Thank you for honoring him.

Thank you so much for telling every angle of what was going on with Malcolm X in his early years as well as the years before his murder. You flush out these stories so well. And I wish we had learned these different angles in history class.

Malcolm X was the GOAT Despite all the struggles he faced in both his young age and adult years, he never let it get in the way of his goal, to see his people achieve freedom and equality by whatever means necessary. May Allah have mercy on you Brother Malcolm 🤲🏾

If only he had a little more time. Man I felt that.

Always evolving is something I think we can all aspire to

Oh God. This was so inspiring. I will definitely read his autobiography

Outstanding commentary on Brother Malcolm!

I only knew about his story on the surface level but this was amazing. Looking forward to the Black Panther video next

Great video, as always. While I was aware of much of the ground covered here what resonates now is the tragedy of his death and considering what he may have accomplished in the decades after.

Thank you for the crash course! These videos have really helped remedy my ignorance. I still have a lot to understand, but learning the history and context really helps

Do a video on the Black Panther Party.

I didn’t really know much of Malcom X but after watching this video was so inspiring! I already get emotional from watching this video, I can only imagine the book! Great video! Overall very informative!

I have really been enjoying your videos on the topic of Black American History. Many of these stories don't get told often enough or to enough people and I think that is part of the reason that this country still has so much difficulty confronting and dealing with its historically problematic record on race relations. Even though you are talking about people and events that I am well studied on you always manage to surprise me with unexpected facts or new information and your speaking style is measured and serious making you very effective at conveying the weight and importance of this topic. I worry that as we get further away from the unfinished struggles of the 1960s and the fewer people that remember the hard-won battles and tragic losses the more difficult it will be for us to get to that mountaintop together, and we still have such a long way to go. Keep fighting the good fight. All power to the people.

I want to thank you for the facts that you provide. I am an avid follower and love how you present facts. I love you!

At the age of 27 in 2017, i read his book. 1 word. Intens! For everyone thinking about reading his book. It will change your life for the better!

The Autobiography of Malcolm X is life-changing reading. Can genuinely recommend it to anyone and everyone.

One of the most strong and inspirational people in history.

Excellent!!! All of these brief lessons are great jumping off points for further reading, and research to get a more complete picture of the American history of Black people in this country. One way to start is by reading "How the Word Is Passed" bt Clint Smith.

Clint Smith…we appreciate you brother!!!

just seen spike lee's film two weeks ago. thank you for this video, he inspires me to face my adversary with a calm and courageous attitude.

Book changed my life

Such an important series

Loved this video!!

This helped with my Black History Month project. Thanks!

Thank you for this video.

Cool I got my associates from Malcolm X College so it’s nice to learn about him.

Excellent, thank you.

Thank you for the impactful lesson!

Thank you for this nice vid about our Foundational Black American brother ✊🏿

THIS WAS EXTRAORDINARY, "WOW",THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH...MALCOLM'S LEGACY I BELIEVE CONTINUES TO GROW...HE WAS SUCH AN ASTOUNDING DEFENDER OF JUSTICE AND BLACK NATIONALIST...

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I appreciate this channel so much. Brother Malcolm was such a brilliant man. Thank you so much for this video.

😮😊Thanks for this good information 😊 Take care.

Love ❤️ this channel

I am so here for this! lets go.

another great video!

Oh my goodness!! Amazing!! I hope You all follow Black Power beyond its rise!

Thank you so much

This is pretty amazing. I think I speak for others as well when I say that my knowledge of Malcolm X pretty much stopped after his involvement with the NoI. Thanks for this video :)

fascinating.

Wow what an incredible journey

Great video

We Love you Malcolm

Always love this brother. The truth ❤

Excellent!

This was cool. Thank you

Peace and Love Brother Malcolm

You missed the reason why he dropped out of school. He was brilliant but the teachers told him he wouldn’t make it because of his skin colour

Love this

I wonder why we didn't even read about Malcolm X whilst we wrote essays on MLK jr.

Rip Malcolm X 5/19/15-2/21/65

is there a video on Stokeley Carmichael?

I got to be the 10k like. That was kinda cool. Amazing video!

It's a decline of black power since leadership was murdered as a race. Individualism is there weapon

The time is now brother X

Crash course doing the do !

Nice video

My hometown hero!!!!

amazing video

What pains me most is that his assasins were fellow muslims

Sounds like Booker T

There will never be a black power movement...because we don't control the money or resources...but what is more important is a black conscious movement...that will affect the financial system greatly.

My brother I appreciate you making a presentation about Brother Malcolm. However, this video is about 90% correct. The entire truth can be explained by THMLFM.

Thisnis Highly Historic.

aaaaaaaaamaaaaaaazing video

I'd comment but you tube doesn't allow that for some reason.

Man times have changed

👊🏿✊🏿👏🏿👍🏿

🔥

hes the reason colored ppl have rights and raised this legend sacrificed his life for others freedom

🎉😢😊🎉

👍👏👍👏👍

✊🏽

6:23 aren't those things universal for the lower classes regardless of race?

can someone give me a summery of this so i can copy and paste it to my homework

It was “Power to the People” it was never Black Power!

We have always had surnames as they generally refered to our family which either had a family job e.g. Smith, Hatton, tailor, or our lineage McCarthy, McDonald, and was generally a form of pride of where we come from which. And I'm sure the surnames that Africans were given related to something from their homeland.

Malcolm was handsome and intelligent, but he was full of venom 💥

Great video
