"It is tempting to speculate how the radical politics of the 1960s might have played out had Malcolm X not been assassinated on February 21, 1965. The campaigns for civil rights, for the liberation of people of color domestically and internationally, against the war in Vietnam and other instances of U.S. imperialism, and, above all, the then-nascent efforts to build popular multi-issue mass movements in support of these goals and calling for socialism surely would have benefited from his strong, clear voice and able leadership." (MONTHLY REVIEW) This article probes Malcolm X's legacy by republishing an interview with Malcolm, revisiting the political context of his killing and examining his life and work from a current perspective.
