Malcolm X vs. Ratatat (download mp3)
At one point during my visit to Wasaga I was designing assignments for high school students. I hope they're tech savvy -I plan on forcing them to make mash ups of famous speeches.
I tested my assignment and found it fun and educational. I'm pleased with this Malcolm X 'Ballet or the Bullet' speech mashed over Ratatat's Seventeen Years. I'm happy to capture his intense rhetoric but, if I were to recut the speech, I would include:
a) his statement that America could have the first non-violent revolution by the ballot.
and
b) that he admired Asian nationalism for defeating the white man -while referring to the Korean war as whites getting beat by rice eaters.
This assignment is also a good introduction to talking about copyright and fair use. Have I violated your terms of use?
