Synopsis by Rob Ferrier

This video presents footage of Malcolm X's most famous speeches from 1963-1965. Included are his "Ballot or the Bullet" speech, his famous "By Any Means Necessary" address, and his candid discussion of police brutality with journalist Mike Wallace. As an original source document, this video should prove valuable to students of American history or those with an interest in American racial relations. As such, it is certainly appropriate for use in the college classroom.
