RE:
MALCOLM EK, LITLE
man is a yellow man and has no business with a white
man's name, And as a yellow man has no business
with a white man’s name, I don't see how thease
black people can walk around here calling themselves
Murphy, Johuson and Bunche and Powell, which are
actually white peoplids names. So the Honorable
Elijab Mohammad teaches us that during slavery the
white man named us after himself to specify ua as
his property. We aren't his property, and the }
name that we wear which identifies us as hie
property,and when we wake up and turn back toward the
education of Ielam.and become Muslias, we give his
: back bis name, we give him back his religion,
we wive him back hie flag and everything else that
goes with it.
"There aré a number of Negro leaders who don't
quite agree with yur philosophy, your religious
philosophy here. Would you have any objection to
continuing this discussion with some of these
religious leaders here next week to get their
views on your philosophy.
"Definitely not, I would like to sit down over
the same microphone with them and acroges the same
table. This is what most Negro leaders are afraid
to do; they want to talk about me behind my back.
They want to talk about us when we are not here to
defend ourselves, .I will talk about them sitting
right here and I want them to do the same thing
and that is what you call fair or equality.
“We will see what we can do to arrange this
meeting."
