How Long, Not Long's Speech

community, especially the younger one, is to hold and be patient. That was the message he was spreading during his “How long, Not Long” speech. During that speech he emphasizes that nothing last forever that sooner or later justice and equality would prevail:
“I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because "truth crushed to earth will rise again."
How long? Not long, because "no lie can live forever."
How long? Not long, because "you shall reap what you sow."
How long? Not long:”
But how long is too long? Its seem that the black community has always been told to be patient, members of white America always tell us to look on how far we came, and think about how

far we can go. But many people of the black community has grown tired of “patiently waiting”, many are calling a rise to action in order for the black community to have their voices heard, no longer are we willfully standing by waiting on a change. And through that comes the Black Lives Matter movement. King felt as if it was the laws duty to stop the violence that blacks were facing from the whites: “It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me and I think that’s pretty important” (Towards Freedom). But that was not the case on many occasions the law was the one inciting towards the blacks. The violence and injustice that the Negro community was facing was much larger than just the United States, King felt as if the issue broadened out globally: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (Letter from a Birmingham Jail).
On the eve of the assassination of Malcolm X King gave a speech called “Nightmare of Violence”, and in this speech King expressed how greatly grieved he is. King stated that the act that lead towards this violence was that of “misplacement of aggression”, King felt as if the murder was a hothead who got tired of not seeing the change and being neglected by the major part of the community. King would go on to say:
“Malcolm X was clearly a product of the hate and violence invested in the Negros’ blighted existence in this nation. He, like so many of our number, was a victim of the despair that inevitably derives from the conditions of oppression, poverty, and injustice which engulf the masses of our race” (Nightmare of Violence).
The black community hatred stems from the years and years on neglect and tortures. Also in his speech King goes on to praise Malcolm X’s life, King could see that as Malcolm grew older and got a better understanding of the situations at hand and that X had taken a turn for the better. “But in his youth, there was no hope, no preaching, teaching or movements of non-violence…Malcolm was still turning and growing at the time of his brutal and meaningless assassination”(Nightmare of Violence). Malcolm wanted to become more involved with the non-violence movement but the amount of hatred and disdain he had for those of white America refrained him from completely immersing himself in nonviolence, “In his recent visit to Selma, he spoke at length to my wife Coretta about his personal struggles and expressed an interest in working more closely with the non-violent movement but he was not yet able to renounce violence and overcome the bitterness which life had invested in him” (Nightmare of Violence). King was stated as to saying “the murder of Malcolm X deprives the world of a potentially great leader.”
