First edition, stated first printing of this collection of speeches by Malcolm X, edited and with an introduction by Benjamin Goodman (aka Benjamin 2X, a close associate and collaborator of Malcolm X). Published in 1970 by Merlin House, Inc. Per the front flap, “Here collected for the first time are four important speeches by Malcolm X. They range in time from late 1962 to December 1963, and thus cover the all-important final year of Malcolm’s affiliation with the Black Muslims…Together, these four major speeches cast new light on a man who, it is becoming increasingly clear with every passing day, must rank among the great leaders and teachers of his time.” 8vo (5.75” x 8.25”), hardcover with a photographic dust jacket, 148 pages. Scarce in the hardcover version, especially with a dust jacket. Light bumping to boards and fraying to cloth. Creasing to edge-chipped dj, with open tears to spine ends and corners.
