C.T. Vivian, a prominent civil rights leader and ally of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., confronted Sheriff Jim Clark in Selma, Alabama, during a voter registration campaign in February 1965. The confrontation occurred on the steps of the Dallas County Courthouse, where Vivian and other activists sought to challenge systemic voter discrimination against Black citizens. #ctvivian #civilrightsmovement #donsarchives #1965 #dallascounty #texas

Malcolm X believed that passing laws alone would not address the economic problems faced by Black Americans because he viewed systemic racism and economic exploitation as deeply entrenched issues that required more than legal reforms. Malcolm X believed that passing laws alone would not resolve the educational problems faced by Black Americans because he saw education as a deeply systemic issue tied to broader structures of racism, power, and inequality.#donsarchives #blackhistorymonth #malcolmx #malcolmxwasright #elhajjmalikelshabazz ✊🏿🕊️

Malcolm X emphasized that Black communities should control their own political, economic, and social institutions. He argued for self-governance, rejecting reliance on white-dominated systems. This meant creating independent structures for education, businesses, and leadership to foster true liberation. He advocated for Black-owned enterprises and economic self-sufficiency, believing that financial autonomy was critical to breaking free from systemic oppression. By building wealth within their communities, African Americans could reduce dependency on exploitative systems. Rejecting nonviolence as a unilateral tactic, he asserted the right to self-defense against racial violence. His famous declaration—"by any means necessary"—highlighted the urgency of protecting Black lives and dignity. #malcolmxday #malcolmxinterview #malcolmxday2025 #malcolmxwasright #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #donsarchives #LLMX 🖤✊🏿🕊️

Malcolm X urged Black communities to see the contrast between the conditions of white schools and their own. He argued that white schools were intentionally funded and maintained at a higher standard, while Black schools were neglected—proof of America’s racist infrastructure. By witnessing this inequality, Black students and families could better understand that their struggles were not due to personal failure but deliberate systemic oppression. #MalcolmX #donsarchives #blackcommunity
