Malcolm X (1992)

Al Sharpton: Speaker #2

Quotes 

• Speaker #2 : Go in other communities. You've never seen a Booker T. Washington sit down store in an Italian community. You've went in a Jewish community and seen no Frederick Douglass delicatessen. Why's everybody in this community making money but us? lt's time for the black men and the black women to stand up and take control of our dollars. lt's time for us to use our dollars for our liberation. We can do what everyone else can do, if we become producers and if we become the masters of our own destiny. We can have wool from sheep just like anyone else! But where are our clothing stores? We can get milk from cows, but where are our grocery stores? We need to control our dollars! We need to control our destiny! The only thing they respect is our dollars!
