In response to a question about
the Freedom Now Party, Malcolm
X answered that he didn't know ~
foo much about it, but “what I
know about it I like.”
During his presentation, Mal- ;
colm X denounced the Democratic
party, “Any Negro who registers
as a Democrat or a Republican ts:
a traitor tg hig own people,” he
said in answer to a question.
Another questioner asked him
about the importance of Marxism.
“~ don't know too much about
Karl Marx,” he answered, But
he indicated an understanding of
the key role of economic issues
with a concise explanation of the
shrinking world market for Amer-
ican goods and its effect on the
American economy.
At several points in the question
period Malcolm * talked about
what whites can do.
“The whites can help if they're
progressive-minded,” he said, “but
my observation and analysis of
the type of help that they’ve been
giving makes me very caititious
about the help they offer .. -
Two Standardst
“No white person would g¢
mbout fighting for freedom in the
_jsame manner that he has help¢
you and me fight for our freed
}— none of them would. When lit
comes to black freedom, then the
white man — he freedom rides
and sits-in, He’s non-violent. He
sings “We Shall Overcome” and
all that sort of stuff. But when
the property of the white man
is threatened or his freedom is
threatened, he’s not non-violent.”
“So if the whites are sincere in
‘the struggle, they will show the
black man how to use better
tactics, tactics that will get ‘pesulis
— and not results a hundred years
from how. :
“Our people are not going to
wait ten years,” he said.
“If this house is a house of free-
dom awa justice for all — it that's
what it is — then let's have it”
Toward the end of the question
period an elderly white man in-
sisted on a chance to answer Mal-
colm X. Given the floor, he pro-
. ceeded to lecture Malcoim X on
lwhat was wrong wit his views,
faa called him “bloodthirsty.”

Africans Kidnappeé--~—~
Malcolm X devoted the last of
the current series of Sunday night
rallies to telling how the civilized
Africans were kidnapped, sys-
tematically de-humanized to the
point where their will to resist was
destroyed and then brought to this
country to be slaves. _—
He said that any strategy used ——
by any erevp that exposed the
situation of the black man in this
country befers tee world was a’
good strategy.
Gloria Richardson opened her
remarks by saying that Brother
Malcolm had added a necessary
and vital spark to the struggle.
She advocated controlled self-
defense as a barrier to violence.
"Through the tactic of controlled
self-defense. we may be able to
avert a civil war, she said.
Independent political action as
adbocated by Malcolm X and th
Fréedom Now Party was the sec-
onfi line of self-defense, she said.
tYesse Gray spoke briefly, em-9
phasizing the need to raise con-
crete demands when carrying out
any protest action.
The next rally will be held in
about four weeks when Malcolm 7
X returns from Africa.

plause from an appreciative au-
dience of nearly 2,000 Negroes

ple must make a revolution t-
they were to win their freedom —

been no bloodless revolutions pré-
viously, but suggested that Amer.
