Copy the following 2 quotes in the Malcolm X section of your notes:
How does each quote relate to the central idea of systemic oppression or segregation?
1. "When you become an animal, a vulture, in the ghetto, as I had become, you enter a world of animals and vultures. It becomes truly the survival of only the fittest" (105). (Malcolm describes his life as a drug-dealer/his interactions with addicts and other criminals)
(leave room to write)
2. "All of us--who might have probed space, or cured cancer or built industries-- were, instead, black victims of the white man's American social system" (93). (Malcolm describing the hustlers in Harlem)
