The National Archives Store is pleased to offer this set of historically significant speeches by charismatic orators Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass. Printed in their entirety, the speeches, which were delivered almost 90 years apart, both speak to the lack of liberties for black people.
Frederick Douglass’ "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?" was presented in Rochester, New York, on July 5th, 1852. Considered among many to be the greatest anti-slavery speech ever delivered, it reminded listeners that for slaves and former slaves, the Declaration of Independence represented the unfulfilled promise of liberty for all.
In December 1964, Malcolm X took part in a debate at the Oxford University Union Society. He spoke of America as a racist society where the only way to bring about change is to speak the language that the racialists understand. He contended that racialists never understand peaceful, non-violent language and that they had been speaking their type of language to black people for over 400 years.
