The problem with the so-called "nonviolence" of the Civil Rights Era is that it is misnarrated. The retelling in the "American myth of progress" version of the Civil Rights movement was that it was completely nonviolent.
That is not true. Plus let's call it its full name "nonviolent direct action"

These voices are still the most relevant voices we should be listening to for our collective liberation
This is part of a greater roundtable that more people should watch. In it you see all levels of the political scale and the excuses those who aspire to be the ruling class have as to why we can't do what Kwame Ture says.
It's a battle we still see today.

Yes! Preach! We must understand that capitalism is antiblack! We can’t love ourselves as Black people & buy into capitalism.

What’s striking about this clip, not even mentioning the content and substance of the message, is that I can’t remember the last time I saw a contemporary tv political talk show allow a guest to speak uninterrupted for this long

When people say “but socialism’s doesn’t work” ask, how many of the socialist countries he names were invaded, sanctioned, etc by the US to make sure socialism didn’t work?

You can never learn enough history.
It was in the early morning of Valentine's Day 1965 that Malcolm X's home was firebombed while he, his wife, and their four daughters were inside.
Everyone survived the attack, but exactly one week later Malcolm would be assassinated
