Beskrivelse
The classic collection of major speeches, now bundled with an audio download of Malcolm X delivering two of them. Malcolm X remains a touchstone figure for black America and in American culture at large. He gave African Americans not only their consciousness but their history, dignity, and a new pride. No single individual can claim more important responsibility for a social and historical leap forward such as the one sparked in America in the sixties. When, in 1965, Malcolm X was gunned down on the stage of a Harlem theater, America lost one of its most dynamic political thinkers. Yet, as Michael Eric Dyson has observed, ';he remains relevant because he spoke presciently to the issues that matter today: black identity, the politics of black rage, the expression of black dissent, the politics of black power, and the importance of consolidating varieties of expressions within black communitiesdifferent ideologies and politicsand bringing them together under a banner of functional solidarity.' The End of White World Supremacy contains four major speeches by Malcolm X, including: ';Black Mans History,' ';The Black Revolution,' ';The Old Negro and the New Negro,' and the famous ';The Chickens Are Coming Home to Roost' speech (Gods Judgment of White America), delivered after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Several of the speeches include a discussion with the moderator, among whom Adam Clayton Powell, or a question-and-answer with the audience. This new edition bundles with the book an audio download of Malcolms stirring delivery of ';Black Mans History' in Harlems Temple No.7 and ';The Black Revolution' in the Abyssinian Baptist Church.
