Only the Ques Would Debate Malcolm X: the Civil Rights Movement’s Big Six and the Safe Distance at Which They Kept America’s Foremost Militant
Tóm tắt
This article examines the relationship between the Honorable Minister Malcolm X and the modern Civil Rights Movement’s Big Six. Despite being experienced orators and highly educated champions of Black people, the dedicated soldiers that comprised the Big Six not only vehemently disagreed with Malcolm X’s position on self-defense but also refused to debate him on the merits of a nonviolent strategy in the fight to bring about freedom, justice, and equality for Black Americans. This article explores why.
