Malcolm X is perhaps one of the greatest icons of the black liberation struggle. His life and teachings reflect a radical pan-African vision of black solidarity and black love deployed in defiance of racial oppression, colonial domination, and the myth of the supremacy of the white race. Reflecting on the text of his speech, "By Any Means Necessary" and the chapter and presentation by Dr. Carol Anderson assigned last week, discuss the ways in which the black nationalist ideology of Malcolm X represents a "justice intervention" and signals a seachange in the political thought and practice of black revolutionaries of his era and beyond.

Explain the significance of his rallying call, for freedom, justice and equality by any means necessary. Specifically, what precisely is he demanding and how does he arrive at this "radical" vision of liberation?
