I think that Nehru probably was a good man, although I didn’t go for it. I don’t go for anybody who is passive. I don’t go for anybody who is, who is, who advocates passivism or peaceful suffering in any form whatsoever. I don’t go for it.

I think that the problem of the American negro goes beyond the principle of any organization whether it’s a religious, political, or otherwise.

Malcolm X

I think, again, that that does the whole problem a, a disservice. It’s not a case of our wanting to mix socially with whites. And when you – and the whites are right in the South when they say that getting a cup of coffee in a restaurant is not going to solve – is all right.

I want Dr. King to know that I didn’t come to Selma to make his job difficult. I really did come thinking I could make it easier. If the white people realize what the alternative is, perhaps they will be more willing to hear Dr. King.

Malcolm X

I want to take Negroes out of the ghetto and put them in good neighborhoods in good houses.
