From Confinement to Enlargement: The Shift in Malcolm X’s Rhetoric

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This is a comparative study between Malcolm X’s speech, the “Ballot or the Bullet,” and his Ford Auditorium address reveals a shift in rhetoric. Malcolm X’s rhetoric changed from being separation-laden, calling for a black counter-cultural hegemonic orientation of black nationalism, into being more inclusive of all races and advocating for the “brotherhood of all men.” This paper explores the process, the reasons and the implications of this shift in rhetoric.
