13 of Malcolm X’s most powerful quotes(Malcolm Trapp) https://l.smartnews.com/p-77ygWmuk/nkZlqd

Malcolm X’s quotes continue to resonate by challenging systems of power and calling for self-determination.
Each quote is paired with historical context, making the list more than just a collection of words.
The article connects Malcolm’s words to modern movements, showing their continued relevance in today’s fight for justice.

To quote the legendary Malcolm X, “You’ve got to get some power before you can be yourself.” Born in 1925, the civil rights activist and Black nationalist leader later expanded his mission beyond separatist ideology, dedicating his life to global human rights, Black self-determination, and the freedoms that come with both.

Like many influential figures of his time, Malcolm left behind words that people still reference and live by today. A self-described “extremist,” he often distinguished himself in his early activist years from other civil rights leaders (notably Martin Luther King Jr.) by rejecting a strictly nonviolent approach, instead emphasizing self-defense and securing rights for Afro-Americans “by any means necessary.”

In honor of his enduring legacy, and in recognition of Black History Month, we’ve gathered 13 of Malcolm X’s most powerful quotes. Scroll through them below.
