Malcolm X was the national spokesperson of the N.O.I., and he wasn't represented in their own newspaper for over a year.

Hope is essential to any political struggle for radical change when the overall social climate promotes disillusionment and despair.

The liberal uses the radical's language to achieve the conservative's aim: the preservation of the capitalist system, and the traditional ethnic/racial hierarchy within society.
