Biography 📅 13 May 1964 📍 Ghana

In a major address at the University of Ghana, Malcolm connected the enslavement of Africans in the Americas with the exploitation of African resources after formal independence. He described African American struggle as a human-rights question and urged listeners to recognize the material interests behind US claims of friendship. His speech treated African audiences as political interlocutors, not as a backdrop for a US domestic story.
