MALCOLM X (1992, Full Movie)
Spike Lee’s adaptation of The Autobiography of Malcolm X tells the story of the most influential and most relevant man to ever be born in America - Malcolm X. Starring Denzel Washington (as Malcolm) and Angela Bassett (as Betty Shabazz), this movie helped introduce a new generation to a man who should never be forgotten; a man who sparked Black consciousness and whose living example was force behind Black Power.

The fact that Denzel Washington did not win an Oscar for his role in the film is straight up criminal.

So if we need white allies in this country, we don’t need those kind who compromise. We don’t need those kind who encourage us to be polite, responsible, you know. We don’t need those kind who give us that kind of advice. We don’t need those kind who tell us how to be patient. No, if we want some white allies, we need the kind that John Brown was, or we don’t need you.

YES! John Brown is another personal hero. My dad even wrote a song about him & others.

The civil rights revolution was a worldwide movement. Here are three men that helped change the world.

Martin in the churches, Malcolm in the streets and Thurgood in the courts.

I would like to point something out so that we’ll understand each other better. I don’t want you to think in the statements I made that I’m being disrespectful towards you as white people. I’m being frank. And I think that my statements will give you a better insight on the mind of a black man than most statements you get from most people who call themselves Negroes, who usually tell you what they want you to hear with the hope…that will make them draw closer to you and create a better possibility of getting from you some of the crumbs that you might let fall from your table. Well, I’m not looking for crumbs so I’m not trying to delude you.
