Malcolm X made a speech about black features - our noses are broad our lips are full our hair is woolly and we are beautiful. I would like the original quote?

This speech wasnt by Malcom X though he did one similar. This quote was from Stokely Carmichael's "Black Power" speech. We have to as a people gather strength to stand up on our feet and say, "Our noses are broad, our lips are thick, our hair is nappy-we are black and beautiful!"

Is Mahtama Gandhi philosophy relevant today?

Gandhi's philosophy included ideas such as the following:

(1) Gandhi believed that at the core of every religion was truth and love (compassion, nonviolence and The Golden Rule). In fact, later in his life when he was asked whether he was a Hindu, he replied: "Yes I am. I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist and a Jew."

(2) resistance to tyranny by totally non-violent civil disobedience (However, Gandhi was aware that this level of nonviolence required incredible faith and courage, which he realized not everyone possessed. He therefore advised that everyone need not keep to nonviolence, especially if it were used as a cover for cowardice.)

To answer the question:

Yes, a philosophy that includes ideas such as those above is certainly relevant today. As our planet seems to shrink under a rapidly growing world population, more and more people, likely from backgrounds diverse in faith and culture, are going to find themselves on one another's doorsteps. In an age where technology can significantly multiply the destructive power of an individual, a philosophy of non-violence and tolerance is certainly relevant.

What did Malcolm X hope to achieve?

Ultimately, Malcolm hoped to achieve equality and justice for African Americans and African American Muslims. He wanted brotherhood amongst blacks and whites, and to live in a multi-ethnic society with racial harmony.

During his time at the Nation of Islam, Malcolm was always told to preach that white people were devils, and blacks were superior to whites, but he later stated that he no longer believed in that. A quote to deny the fact that he was racist was, "I am not a racist.... In the past I permitted myself to be used...to make sweeping indictments of all white people, the entire white race and these generalizations have caused injuries to some whites who perhaps did not deserve to be hurt. Because of the spiritual enlightenment which I was blessed to receive as a result of my recent pilgrimage to the Holy city of Mecca, I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of any one race. I am now striving to live the life of a true...Muslim. I must repeat that I am not a racist nor do I subscribe to the tenants of racism. I can state in all sincerity that I wish nothing but freedom, justice and equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people." This clearly tells us that all he wanted was the chance for black people to be seen as humans first, and then seen as colours. He also once said that unity between black and white people can only happen if black people form a tight knit bond first. This was his reason for trying to build up a large community of black people who all wanted the same thing; liberty.
