Source Analysis of Malcolm X's Speech

Source A: Malcolm X on Civil Rights and Self-Determination

"We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be given the rights of a human being, to be respected as a human being. We are not Americans in the sense that they want us to be. We are African Americans, and we demand our rights as such. Our fight is not just for integration but for self-determination, for control over our communities and our destiny. We must understand that true freedom comes from within, and it must be fought for with strength and unity. Only then can we truly be free." Provenance: Malcolm X, 1964, speech delivered to the Organization of Afro-American Unity.
