Malcom X Freedom Of Speech Analysis
A voice was all we had in the beginning. It was our first instrument.

He made the people listen to him although it was frowned upon. Freedom of speech as Malcom X showcased is about voicing your beliefs, emotions and feelings despite the status quo.
Without our voices who are we?
