"Malcolm X Debate with James Baldwin September 5, 1963" 


Nation of Islam Minister Malcolm X's message here, is that integration by itself, should never be the goal of the African-American community. The goal should be freedom, whether they're living and working, as well as socializing, shopping, with European-Americans, or not. 

Minister X believed that Africans have the exact same amount of freedom and responsibility under law and under the Constitution, as European-Americans and that those rights and freedom should be enforced now. And that Africans shouldn't wait for Europeans to give them their rights and freedom, since they already have them under law and the Constitution.
