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 communities--different ideologies and
politics--and bringing them together under a banner of functional
solidarity."
The End of White World Supremacy contains four major speeches by
Malcolm X, including: "Black Man's History," "The Black Revolution,"
"The Old Negro and the New Negro," and the famous "The Chickens Are
Coming Home to Roost" speech ("God's 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 Malcolm's stirring
delivery of "Black Man's History" in Harlem's Temple No.7 and "The Black
Revolution" in the Abyssinian Baptist Church.
