"By any means necessary" - Malcolm X

Malcolm X speaks to an audience of supporters, radically advocating that black America should not be afraid to use violence to achieve their aims by stating, “by any means necessary”.

He does not hesitate to describe whites as the enemy and there is implicit criticism of Martin Luther King’s methods, suggesting King was too eager to appease the authorities when he carried out demonstrations.
