Join us on Malcolm X's birthday to discuss his iconic piece, "Ballot or the Bullet". Given in the context of the 1964 presidential election, it advocates for both the strategic use of the ballot and for the possibility of violent resistance to the state. Most importantly, it elucidates his ideas concerning Black Nationalism, and is in fact a key part of the development of that ideology and the people that were to follow him. Be sure to join us!
