About this Quote

This quote by Malcolm X speaks to the power of education in creating a more simply and equitable society. He is suggesting that laws alone can not produce a society of excellent will and understanding. Rather, he argues that education is the essential to producing a society of good will and understanding. Education can assist to create a society where people are more familiar with the issues facing their neighborhoods and the world, and can help to produce a more fair and just society. Education can likewise assist to create a society where individuals are more tolerant and understanding of different cultures and beliefs. Education can help to develop a society where people are more ready to collaborate to fix issues and develop a much better future. In short, education is the essential to creating a society of great will and understanding, and laws alone can not accomplish this.
