"Malcolm X was the first great Black spokesperson who looked ferocious white racism in the eye, did not blink and lived long enough to tell America the truth about this glaring hypocrisy in a bold and defiant manner. Unlike Martin Luther King, Jr., he did not live long enough to forge his own distinctive ideas and ways of channeling Black rage in constructive channels to change American society. Only if we are as willing as Malcolm X to grow and confront the new challenges posed by the Black rage of our day will we take the Black freedom struggle to a new and higher level."
