4-5 page essay on Malcom X and his view on black nationalism. In his 1964 speech “On Black Revolution,” Malcolm X described himself as a Black Nationalist who is prepared to engage in a violent revolution to overthrow the racist system of white oppression in the United States of America. Write an essay of about five pages in which you explain what he meant by Black Nationalism and why he preferred to describe himself as a Black Nationalist rather than a civil rights activist. Do you think revolutionary violence, as conceived by Malcolm X in the 1960s, is still a relevant strategy for liberating African Americans from contemporary white racial oppression? Give good reasons to support your position.
