Primary Source; The problem is still here.

My primary source is a video of Malcolm X talking about solving the race problem. He describes how white liberals try to solve the race problem but it is still occurring. (basically failing ) Although the video is only couple minutes long  he expresses his concerns and his opinion about the white liberals. He explains how Lincoln  supposedly fought the civil war to solve the race problem but "the problem still here." He then continues to say Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation  to solve the race problem but " the problem is still here." He states " more white liberals came along with the 13th, 14th and 5th Amendment which were suppose to solve the race problem, the problem is still here." 9 years later more white liberals came along and came up with supreme court desegregation decision and the problem still here. Kennedy  came along running for president and told Negros what he was going to do for them if they voted for him and they of course voted for him (80% of them) he been in office for 3 years and the problem still here!He explains what is happening in Alabama; Police dogs fighting black women, black children, and black babies. Kennedy talked about what he couldn't do because no federal law had been violated and as soon as Negros exploded and began to protect themselves and got the best crackers then president Kennedy started to bring in the troops. He didn't have any new law when he sent the troops when the Negros erupted then he had at the time when the whites erupted. He ends his speech by stating, " We are within our rights and with justice with justification when we express doubt concerning the ability of the white man to solve our problems and also when we express doubt concerning his sincerity because you have to confess that the problem has been around for a long time and whites have been saying the same thing for about the past 100 years and no where near our solution than it was 100 years ago."
When viewing the video you can see his emotion and determination for change, his frustration comes out at the end of the video. He is basically criticizing the white people and voicing how they are not making no type of change,they are all talk and no action. But when action is made it is against the blacks. I enjoyed researching primary sources and reading/watching what the Africans Americans had to go through. I like to see their emotions  and what they have to say especially the inspirational leaders trying to make a difference.
