right or wrong about the quotes, Point
number two, a survey not to long ago shoved, . .-
that 75% of the people never heard of MALCOLM Z.°
As a result of all the recent press 50% of the.
people bave heard of him. You've becom@ 5
pretty well known and 7 see a little anile - x
on your face now because of the press which
you cannot object too mucbe lye... pee clans
MALCOLM: Let me make this comment and 08 I said earlier, —
about 75% of the people, it wasn't I who they —
gaid they baven’t heard of, they said they never
heard of the Muslins on this survey which was —-
down, I think by Newsweek. «=... tet nn

KUPCINET: No Newsweek was a little different survey.
This is the one about you. Newsveek showed
that the Black Muslins were 8th and last. -
or vere last of all the Negro organizations
as far as popularity. = © - <3. oie
MsALCOLK X: Yes. During the Kenyan uprising oF the African
uprising in Kenya by the Mau Bays, whites used
to go to the Africans and ask them had they
ever heard of Ghana or bad they ever heard
of the Mau Maus and naturally every African. .._—_ =.
gaid no, I don't know what your talking about
and the same one that said I don't know ce
would get that white man’s head that night when
he went te bed. When you g0 into the Negro
community after projecting the Kusiins iu the
image that they've been projected in and ask A
Negro have you heard of then, the one that you |
asked might be the minister of the Mosque and
he'll say no £ never heard & them. {= was
Minister in Boston in 1953 of Mosque Nuaber 11
and £ worked with whites every day and they
didn't know I was a Muslin, had they asked se
something about myself, they didn't even .
asked me about anything, about whether or not
I was a Muslim. You didn't know CASSIUS CLAY
was a Muslim until it was announced this year.
There are many people who are Muslims and who
are asked gery day are they Muslins, who never
heard of them, We're living in a society where
the people sonetines have to be very acrobatic.
