Description
In 1963, a century after the abolition of slavery, racial discrimination was still a current issue in the United States. Under growing pressure from black activists, John F. Kennedy announced the promulgation of a law aimed at making black Americans citizens like any other, "without distinction of color or race." But the president's promises were not enough to calm the anger of radical movements. For Malcolm X, there was no question of opposing a nonviolent discourse to the daily violence inflicted on blacks; it would be freedom or death; the vote or the gun.
