Who said this?

Also, in line with this economic philosophy of black nationalism, in order for us to control the economy of our own community, we have to learn the importance of spending our money in the community where we live... When you take money out of the neighborhood in which you live... the neighborhood in which you spend your money becomes wealthier and wealthier, and the neighborhood out of which you take your money becomes poorer and poorer."

• Martin Luther King Jr.

Who said this?

"And if you can't talk that talk, he doesn't even hear you. You can come talking that old sweet talk or that old peace talk, or that old nonviolent talk- that man doesn't hear that kind of talk. He'll put you on your back and tell you you're a good boy and give you a peace prize. How are you going to get a peace prize when the war's not over yet? I'm for peace, but the only way you're going to preserve peace is be prepared for war."

• Malcolm X

• Martin Luther King Jr.

Who said this?

"I don’t favor violence. If we could bring about recognition and respect of our people by peaceful means, well and good. Everybody would like to reach his objectives peacefully. But I’m also a realist. The only people in this country who are asked to be nonviolent are Black people. I’ve never heard anybody go to the Ku Klux Klan and teach them nonviolence, or to the [John] Birch Society and other right-wing elements. Nonviolence is only preached to Black Americans, and I don’t go along with anyone who wants to teach our people nonviolence until someone at the same time is teaching our enemy to be nonviolent. I believe we should protect ourselves by any means necessary when we are attacked by racists...."
