Malcolm X’s speech delivered on April 3, 1964 in Cleveland, OH, was ranked 7 in the "Top 100 American speeches of the 20th century" published by University of Wisconsin-Madison and Texas A & M University in 1999.
A few months ago I started this blog with the speech by Martin Luther King Jr as the first post. And at that time I saved this spoken gem especially for this moment: the 100th speech.
An audio version and transcript is available at American Rhetoric.
