I'm so familiar with what Malcolm X wrote at certain stages of his own life and development.

I think that Malcolm X was the most remarkable historical figure produced by Black America in the 20th century.

The crisis of black politics can only be resolved through the development of multiclass, multiracial, progressive political structures.

One of the striking things about doing research on Malcolm X, and I believe that most Malcolm X researchers could tell you their own stories, is that there's this paradox of the absence of critical information.

Elements within Malcolm's X own entourage, some of them were very angry with some of the changes that had occurred with Malcolm. One source of anger, curiously enough, was that - was the tension between MMI and OAAU, that the MMI, the Muslim Mosque Incorporated, these were women and men who had left the Nation of Islam out of loyalty to Malcolm, but then Malcolm continued to evolve rapidly.

The MMI brothers, who provided security for Malcolm X had been trained by Malcolm himself that inside of the Nation of Islam, whenever there is a diversion, you protect the principal. The principal, in this case Malcolm, clearly was not protected on February 21st [1965].

I am convinced that the Black man will only reach his full potential when he learns to draw upon the strengths and insights of the Black woman.
