That's our motto. We want freedom by any means necessary. We want justice by any means necessary. We want equality by any means necessary. — Malcolm X · 1964 We didn't land on Plymouth Rock; the rock was landed on us. — Malcolm X · 1964 It'll be ballots, or it'll be bullets. It'll be liberty, or it will be death. — Malcolm X · 1964 I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare. — Malcolm X · 1964 We are not fighting for integration, nor are we fighting for separation. We are fighting for recognition as human beings. We are fighting for...human rights. — Malcolm X · 1964

We didn't land on Plymouth Rock—Plymouth Rock landed on us! — Malcolm X · 1992 Brothers and sisters, I am here to tell you that I charge the white man. I charge the white man with being the greatest murderer on earth. I charge the white man with being the greatest kidnapper on earth. There is no place in this world that man can go and say he created peace and harmony. Everywhere he's gone, he's created havoc. Everywhere he's gone, he's created destruction. So I charge him. — Malcolm X · 1992 Because of the spiritual rebirth which I was blessed to undergo as a result of my pilgrimage to the Holy City of Mecca, I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of one race. I intend to be very careful not to sentence anyone who has not been proven guilty. I'm not a racist and do not subscribe to any of the tenets of racism. In all honesty and sincerity it can be stated that I wish nothing but freedom, justice and equality: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all people. Now my first concern, of course, is with the group to which I belong, for we, more than any others, are deprived of our inalienable rights. But I believe the true practice of Islam can remove the cancer of racism from the hearts and the souls of all Americans. — Malcolm X · 1992 You are not an American, you are the victim of America! — Malcolm X · 1992
