Malcolm addresses Mississippi youth about freedom and political action

In a year-end address to Mississippi youth, Malcolm urged young people to analyze the forces shaping their lives and organize for freedom rather than wait for benevolent change from above. The speech tied his political education work to a movement confronting voter suppression and violence in Mississippi. Surviving catalogs differ on whether the address is dated December 31 or January 1; this entry follows the dated speech listing in the collection catalog and flags the discrepancy in the research report.
