Malcolm X at Oxford, 1964


"I enjoy replaying this vintage gem every now and then – Malcolm X debating at Oxford University in 1964. In this classic video, you get a good feel for Malcolm X’s presence and message, not to mention the social issues that were alive during the day. You’ll hear X’s trademark claim that liberty can be attained by 'whatever means necessary,' including force, if the government won’t guarantee it, and that 'intelligently directed extremism' will achieve liberty far more effectively than pacifist strategies."
