And we did steal he stopped us from gambling and he stopped us from line stealing runs rampant you know gamely runs rampant in home oh title evils in places that care product immunity run record in a home. In harlem everyone knew the story of mull committal the young hoodlum who discovered the nation of islam and its leader Eliza Mohammad while in prison it was muhammad who made malcolm x. The spokesperson for this black separatist movement with its racial vision of a world where black muslims would live apart from whites thanks to markham x. The nation of islam became popular in the ghettos of the northern states but organization was always one there was concern about offering an an option an alternative to black americans you know heres and heres something what were talking about in terms of the goals and objectives we have as far cry which you hear you know you following christianity for example well as connected to the slave trade thats connected to your slave holder you know he does not have your best interests in mind hes given you a religion its that tamps down your your potential for violence and raising up. Mr x you have described a muslim moment as a religious organization and you have said that there are a great many misconceptions about your attitude and stated views can we press for a very simple answer to one question do you hate all white people i dont think its a fair question. Headed to the right my head in the white man doesnt even come into my attitude he did mr mohammed teaches us to love our own kind and let the white man take care of himself for a white man to days after kidnapping millions of black people from africa stripping them of all human characteristics and relegating them to the role of chattel cattle animals commodity merchandise that could be bought and sold it will and then 100 years since the emancipation proud proclamation using every type of deceptive method to further us into slavery call 2nd class citizenship i think that it would take a whole lot of nerve for white people today to ask negroes do they hate it ok malcolm spoke to the white media but he was not trying to convince still white media then what he was saying was true because he knew that they were going to distort what he said. But caving around of the hand and artists of the spoken word he warts our way stranded get the attention of the needy yet to use the media to support he is non violent approach to social change was after seeing the repeal of segregation laws on the alabama busing king pursued his action in other states the sign he emerged as the leader of the civil rights movement. We do not want to wait 50 years for our rights we dont want to wait 25 years for our right we dont want to wait 10 years for our rights we want all of our rights we want them here and we welcome now. The young pastor became a celebrity the media hailed the effectiveness of his nonviolent approach king and his lieutenants used television to effect in front of the cameras they sought to provoke the violence of the authorities demonstrators were told to show no hostility towards the adversary but to resist peaceful. Method of hundreds systems is one of the most potent if not the most potent weapons available across all in the. In the cities of the north nonviolent resistance was a message that fell on deaf ears in new york malcolm x. Famously visited a Police Station to denounce the violence im not satisfied with the fact that the police in this downtown area has punched one of our brothers in the mouth and their brother wasnt breaking any laws he was only selling papers and it would be dangerous for them to get the impression that we endorse Martin Luther king the last of your turn the other cheek malcolm represented the kind of attitude and political perspective of many of young black socalled militants and radicals coming out of urban areas in the north they have a different time attitude it was hard for them to swallow this notion of nonviolence you know so i go inside my head then retribution is coming i can see myself falling down on my knees and given any kind of extra advantage to my enemy malcolm says somebody hits you you send him to the cemetery the nonviolent strategy of modern new thick king jr for malcolm x. Was a week philosopher it was a philosophy of turn the other cheek it was a philosophy of not hit in the back and now come comes from a black nationalist tradition that does not but the that you can cant show freedom yossef respect yo get me to buy sit play lead and somebody beat up on you and you are not shy to defeat say thats why malcolm emphasize seth if it. But. Emphasize nonviolence because if blacks had responded trying to defend them sad that would a brought down the pole Lease Department down own those demonstrators and whites would have loved to have the chance to kill black people in distress. So king and malcolm had that tension. I am happy. With you. Will go down in the rear. As the greatest demonstration read on and the history of. Television played a central role in the African American struggle for equality in 1963 a series of events covered by the National Networks reveal the scale of inequality in the south to millions of americans well theyre right now at 963 was the year of Martin Luther kings try and his relationship with president kennedy who had been in power for 2 years was key to his strategy but it was this alliance which ween king and washington this idyllic picture of reconciliation between blacks and whites that provoked the ire of marco makes it all started in birmingham alabama in the spring of 1963 king and another pastor Ralph Abernathy were filmed being arrested for organizing an unauthorized demonstration the arrest was part of a strategy that king would use in future campaigns it was important that the cameras captured the unrest birmingham was a city that embodied a southern racism where whites like to repeat the governors slogan segregation now segregation tomorrow segregation forever can you believe that alabama would not and could not polisi it seth and that what he wanted to do was to show that so that the federal government would have to become involved and their body make a family a law that would override anything that any of that jim crow laws thats in birmingham alabama in 1963 it was in prison where Martin Luther king wrote the text that encapsulated his struggle the letter from birmingham jail king wrote the purpose of a direct Action Program is to create a situation so. Crisis pact that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation. President kennedy intervened and king was soon free and a few days later king and his followers found a way into the national consciousness. One of his lieutenants suggests well why dont we have School Children they dont have jobs they dont have mortgages. A lot of controversy about that within kings circle. But the decision is made and so we have hundreds and hundreds of children marching. And thats also the moment where the bull connor the Public Safety commissioner decides to bring out attack dogs and high powered fire hoses vose picture is go around the world. Where we get these incredibly dramatic images. They are so powerful and here we have a story of 2 opposing forces one behaving brutally the other being victimized and so on you know for television this is a spectacular story. Malcolm x. Is quoted in the media being very very critical about king and the movement allowing children to march and be arrested and be brutalized that was our main crucible berman here. I mean the fact that it would you the children would be put in this and after what i understand even some of the king people kind of you know had a problem with that initially they misled they had a problem with interesting lee its its at that moment that the coverage of king starts to change because very shortly after this particular campaign it its now its called the Childrens Campaign very shortly after that the white power structure in birmingham basically collapses a green is to basically agrees to kings demands. The Media Coverage of king then very quickly changes hes not the militant anymore he is the hero 2 days after his victory over the local authorities Martin Luther king was the target of an attack several buildings were burned down by white extremists leading to riots in the black community in the face of the unrest john f. Kennedy sent the National Guard to the outskirts of birmingham in harlem marcom x. Gave full voice to his anger we are not integration. And we believe that your old food to try and mix with someone who doesnt love you well that doesnt mean that we in any any way condone what those predators are doing in birmingham alabama people should know that it is no accident that along the gulf were writing negro women negro babies a negro children kennedy said nothing it was only after the negro began to strike that. It was then it was then that kennedy called ending on dont you be going by kennedy dont you people by the dont go down negro free just when i dont think you get that good i get the 4 legged dog. After the events of burning Martin Luther king and malcolm x. Were interviewed a few days apart for a program about the race issue brings us an interpretation it was an opportunity to share their opposing vision was to put the black caucus malcolm x. Has said of your philosophy that it plays into the hands of the right of practice that they are happy when you talk about love for the oppressor because this is far from the negro well i dont think of love as in this context as emotional bond i dont think of it as we see what i think of love as something strong and thats all the nice south and powerful i direct action and i think some of the criticisms on nonviolence of some of the critics fail to realize is that we are talking about something very strong and they can few. Nonresistance with nonviolence is. King assumes that people are reading know that he is right about what he is sand so he is using the intellectual tradition of why its in order to make his Point Malcolm does not use the intellectual tradition of whites to make his Point Malcolm uses the experiences of black people in the ghetto the people that hes talking to reverend Martin Luther king. Preaches a doctrine of nonviolent insistence upon the rights of the American Negro what is your attitude a lot of white men say we havent Martin Luther king subsidizes revan Martin Luther king so that we have an Martin Luther king can continue to keep the negroes to be defenseless thats what you mean by not be defenseless be defenseless in the face of one of the most cruel.

Malcolm x. And Martin Luther king 2 legendary figures with opposing visions for American Civil Rights their rivalry plays out on prime Time Television in the united states. Is. All right citizenship the goal of dr Martin Luther king is to give negro the chance a certain a segregated rest. Plain white man alive or 100 years the goal of dr Martin Luther king is to get negroes to put give the people who have brutalized them for 100 years but by lowering them to sleep and making getting what they. Criticize martin because he was trying to we. Our ballo to sick nates to why people are in a restaurant but malcolm says i mean thats not freedom sitting next to white people is not freedom for said whites freedom is black people have in their own selfdetermination where they can buy their own restaurant and they dont have to worry about whites not serving and then. June 11th 1963 mocked a major victory for king and his movement president kennedy gave a televised address in which he presented the plight of southern blacks as a moral crisis affecting the whole country but are we to say that the world and much more importantly to each other that this is a land of the free except for the negroes that we have no 2nd class citizens except negroes and we have no class or caste system no ghettos no master race except with respect and they go now the time has come to this nation it will fill its promise. Events in birmingham and elsewhere have so increased the cries requalify that no city or state legislative body can totally choose to ignore them. A few days later at the white house civil rights leaders submitted their plans to the Kennedy Administration for a Major Political rally in washington their aim was to draw attention to the injustices that continue to affect 20000000 blacks the administration was afraid the unrest would spill over onto the streets of the Nations Capital king reassured the white house and the event took place but on the terms set by kennedy. On the day of the march the whole of america could follow proceedings and. Thanks to cameras set up along the route the 3 National Networks gave wide coverage to the event which was the culmination of a decade of intense struggle for civil rights. What you see is an emphasis on black and white together. The march was about 3 quarters africanamericans one quarter white but if you look at the coverage you would think it was almost 5050. 00 so one way that Television News was framing this monumental phenomenon is of blacks and whites coming together each see images of marchers and the emphasis is always on dignity so you see these framed portraits of marchers. You know the t. V. Cameras are always looking for well dressed marchers and this was part of the organizing of the march where your best clothes right youre going to be seen by the nation. So the impulse seems to be on the day of the march to portray this for Television Viewers as nonthreatening and you know this is the ideal this is what integration looks like that to me was i was like a picnic it had almost like a picnic like atmosphere to i of this like totally unimpressed and although i was you know i had already accepted brother malcolm interpretation of it from listening to him speak but but. To me it was it was i was out when you look when you when i was there and i will say it myself why would anyone object to this this is a great this is a great. Cool for the Kennedy Administration makes it look as though theyre doing something and something major is going on and i have a 3. Time in iowa. One day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of america yet but by the content of back erick i havent i am was now you have 250000 people you know gathered in one place seemingly on the same page. See many there to idolize the kind of iconic values that dr king represented at the end and even people who are going to eyes of mars recognize that king would be the centerpiece you know a Philip Randolph in particular you know exactly what he was doing that dr king would come on and move that crowd is such a way that no other speaker in this country could do on capitol streambeds one day the home it out about mom with this fisher race with the governor having him going to pass stripping with the words a better position another fictitious one day night that in alabama the little black boy was in fact wont be able to join hands and im afraid bob and right go at the drop is not a free. Everything is i have a dream. I have a dream i have a dream and and to me the greatest lines from that speech that should be embedded into the minds of special of young black folks is the full fathers of this country gave us a promissory note and we have come here today to cash that check that to be thats bothered me and in terms of an image created in the my that was a powerful statement. Totally even though. We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is backed. By we refuse to believe that out i an official from the great oh the opportunity of this nation so we come to cash this check check that well give up the problem demand the riches of freedom and the security of stuff was. Among comics the march on washington was an event to be rejected in a famous speech he attacked what he calls the farce on washington. The click to put kennedy in power during. The march on washington is just like when you got some coffee it is too black. Which means its too strong. What you do you didnt agree to create. It used to be hot it becomes cool it used to be stronger becomes weak. It used to wake you up now what you just did. This is what they did with the march on washington they joined it became a brotherhood took it over and there they took it over the last its militancy they seized me angry they seized me hot they seized me uncompromising why even seized to be a mom she became a picnic a circus were nothing but a circus with clowns and all they control it sucks to the tune of negroes what time to time. How to cook. What does that. Mean in theory. That honda saying. They could make you have a brief equipment and then totally get out of town by sundown. The march on washington sealed an alliance between king and kennedy. From now on it was king who had the ear of the white house. According to the media the 2 men were going to write American History but it would be written without kennedy. Monday nov 25th 1963 america is in shock following kennedys assassination as the nation watches his televised funeral king and the black cause have just lost their most powerful political ally but markham x. Upsets the mood of mourning. When kennedy is killed. Because the grief for the nation was so intense any quote or sound bite that seems to be critical of kennedy. Is just not going to be tolerated. Malcolm x. 2nd in command of the black Muslim Movement expressed joy at the assassination of president kennedy at a manhattan rally last sunday not im said that the killing of the president was an instance of the chickens coming home to roost he added and we quote being an old farm boy myself chickens coming home to roost never make me sad they always make me glad in chicago today a large amount of the leader of any white muslin movement suspended malcolm x. And this about his statement you know you little chickens out in the morning they go around and they always come back. What it was what chicken was basically was was the same as saying what you reap is what you sow and brother malcolm position was that the Kennedy Administration had allowed all of that violence to occur in birmingham and other places had not done very much about it but the way that the media of course takes up that quality in. Malcolm is saying kennedy deserved to be shot i personally wish he had not said that because it was not true because i believe every word of it but big because he was able to provide ammunition for his enemies both in the you know in the larger world and in the nation of islam to use it against after 3 months of silence imposed by and large a Mohammed Marco Max was finally banished from the nation of islam from now on he had to speak for himself do you consider yourself a militant. I can tell my thought now. I think when he left the nation of islam in march of 1964. He felt it just a great degree have a kind of a liberal tory he felt liberated in fact some point said something about the straight jacket is no longer on him now he can move and become more political because understand that the nation of islam tended to tamp down any kind of political expression to stay clear of that thats what god malcolm in trouble when he said something about kennys assassination you know about the chickens coming home to roost got him into deep water so in an inept precipitated a number of other moves but he was already as far as im concerned he was beginning to step outside of that any way he saw himself of in a larger picture and making a greater contribution what will be the difference between your new movement and the nation of islam while the basic difference will be probably more flexible and its not my intention to teach among those who are already most but to take mr mohammeds message out among non muslim so called the world or your work then with negro groups that are working for integration we wont be joining them now will they be joining us we will Work Together on any objective that we have and that will be for the common good of the negro community. In washington Martin Luther king continued his political work with a group of senators sympathetic to his ideas he joined the debate on the civil rights draft bill initiated by kennedy the bill was the most progressive led
