Ballot or Bullet

Malcolm X’s powerful 1964 speech Ballot or Bullet is a bold call for political action and self-determination. Delivered after his break from the Nation of Islam, it marks a turning point in his evolution — blending Black nationalism with a new urgency for civil rights through the vote.

This edition includes a brief introduction, the full unabridged speech, and a reflective afterword exploring its lasting legacy.

A timeless message on justice, power, and change.
