Could someone tell me the source of this famous quote:

"I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those that do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation... It is incorrect to dassif' the revolt of the Negro as simply a racial conflict of Black against white, or as a purely American problem. Rather we are today seeing a global rebellion of the oppressed against the oppressor the exploited against the exploiter."

It seems it's from January 1965.

Thanks.

You can find it in a book titled "Malcom X Speaks." p.216 in my copy.

Says it's from an interview on the "Pierre Berton Show", January 19, 1965.
