Biografie 📅 28 Augustus 1963 📍 Verenigde Staten

Malcolm observed the March on Washington and called it a 'farce,' criticizing how Black grassroots pressure had been brought under established leadership and federal control. His critique should be read as a debate over strategy and representation, not as proof that the march or its participants lacked political meaning. He challenged the narrowing of mass protest into a carefully managed appeal while Black communities still faced violence and exclusion.
