Biography 📅 11 February 1965 📍 United Kingdom

At the London School of Economics, Malcolm addressed the common structures behind oppression across the world and defended the right of Black people to protect themselves when governments failed to do so. His speech presented self-defense as a response to racist violence, not an abstract preference for violence. The address connected US racial struggle with anti-colonial movements and reached a global audience.
