Until a few months ago
Malcolm X, known as the
“angriest Black Muslim” of
them all, went about the
country preaching the cult's
message of “hate-all-whites”
and complete segregation—
of a separate black state
somewhere in the United
States. :
For 12 years he was chief
Heutenant for Elijah Mu-
hammad, leader of the cult,
and its chief spokesman. He
whipped audiences of Ne-
groes toa fever pitch against
“white devils” and the Chris-
tians he claimed gave him
his light coffee color by
raping his grandmother.

—mimtts About-Face
“J have done a complete )
about-face and I'm man
enough to admit it... even
if it makes me look ridicu-
lous in the eves of the
world,” Malcolm X said yes-
terday,
“The only reason some
people might think my
about-face is ridiculous is
my inability to bring to the
eye of the public the main in-
gredient—it Is of such a na-
ture that it can’t be brought
into public before it is
+ brought into court.
“There was a moral crisis
involved,
“When I lost my confi.
' dence in Muhammad as a
person, I began to re-exam-
ine his philosophy, perhaps
; objectively for the first time,
and his doctrine—his entire
organization and behavior
pattern. “ ‘
