First sentence: In his 1964 speech titled, "The Ballot or the Bullet," Malcolm X (1995: 141) stated, "if it doesn't take senators and congressmen and presidential proclamations to give freedom to the white man, it is not necessary for legislation or proclamation or Supreme Court decisions to give freedom to the black man."
