Only the African can bring an end to his own oppression

You will find that there will come a time when black people wake up and become intellectually independent enough to think for themselves as other humans are intellectually independent to think for themselves. Then the black man will think like a black man and he will feel for other black people. And this new thinking and feeling will cause black people to stick together and then at that point you will have the situation where when you attack one black man you are attacking all black men. And this type of black thinking will cause all black people to stick together. And this type of thinking also will bring an end to the brutality inflicted upon black people by white people. And it is the only thing that will bring an end to it. No federal court, state court or city court will bring an end to it. It is something that the black man has to bring an end to himself.- Malcom X
