Malcolm X: [public speech] So what do I say about this national day of mourning, so-called national day of mourning. I say the White Man's acts of violence should be condemned, not only by our beliefs, but by his own. Now the Holy Koran teaches us that those who work evil, will be condemned or punished or judged, according to their works. The Holy *Bible* teaches us that you reap what you sow. This is divine justice. Well, in the soil of the Americas the White Man has planted the seeds of hatred. He's planted the seeds of violence. He's allowed those weeds to, grow up and, choke the lives out of millions of black men and women for the last 400 years, in fact, the lives of lndians in these Americas for the last 500 years. And now those same weeds, have choked one of his own gardeners. In fact, his chief gardener. You ask me what l say. l only say what the Bible says. l say what the Koran says... l say it's justice.
