Here presented An African-American Muslim minister – Malcolm X quotes and thoughts on education (includes also self-education and homemade education) during his speeches and in his books. Those quotes help you to understand education as well as what you can do with it.
1. Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
Malcolm X
2. My homemade education gave me, with every additional book that I read, a little bit more sensitivity to the deafness, dumbness and blindness that was afflicting the black race in America.
Malcolm X
3. Without education, you are not going anywhere in this world.
Malcolm X
4. Education is an important element in the struggle for human rights. It is the means to help our children and thereby increase self-respect.
Malcolm X
5. You can’t legislate good will – that comes through education.
Malcolm X
6. When you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. When you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. And that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. So, it’s a very vicious cycle.
Malcolm X
7. And just because you have colleges and universities doesn’t mean you have education.
Malcolm X
8. Good education, housing and jobs are imperatives for the Negroes, and I shall support them in their fight to win these objectives, but I shall tell the Negroes that while these are necessary, they cannot solve the main Negro problem.
Malcolm X
9. It is the process of mis-education that inhibits the full potential of a nation.
Malcolm X
10. We intend to use the tools of education to help raise our people to an unprecedented level of excellence and self respect through their own efforts.
