Malcolm X videos

Just to provide some more context for Thursday's reading and in-class reading response, here are some videos of Malcolm X.

In the first one, Malcolm X articulates some of his early beliefs. The interviewer, Hurlbut (a really unfortunate name), constantly interrupts Malcolm X and gets things wrong, but Malcolm X takes it in stride and just tries to calmly explain what he means.




And this next one Malcolm X provides his reading of history and articulates his idea behind nationalism. You can also clearly see how different his approach was than the approach of Martin Luther King Jr.





There are many more videos of Malcolm X on Youtube. For instance, this one shows some of beliefs and goals toward the end of his life.
