Dnes (21.2.1965) byl zavražděn Malcolm X
Záběry (bez zvuku) natočené bezprostředně po atentátu 21.2.1965, v 15:10. Krátce po zahájení shromáždění v Harlemu (v kulturním centru Audubon Ballroom) organizece OAAU byl Malcolm X zasažen 21 výstřely, z toho dvakrát do hrudníku. V 15:30, krátce po převozu do Kolumbijské nemocnice, byl prohlášen za mrtvého.
"Just one step farther to see if I am justified in this stance, and I am speaking as a black man from america which is a racist society, no matter how much you hear it talk about democracy it’s as racist as South Africa or as racist as Portugal or as racist as any other racialist society on this earth. The only difference between it and South Africa, South Africa preaches separation and practices separation, America preaches integration and practices segregation. This is the only difference, they don’t practice what they preach, whereas South Africa practices and preaches the same thing. I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he’s wrong, than the one comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil"
Malcolm X speech at the Oxford Union, 3 December 1964
"I want to thank you for listening to me. I hope I haven't put anybody on the spot. I'm not intending to try and stir you up and make you do something that you wouldn't have done anyway. I pray that God will bless you in everything that you do. I pray that you will grow intellectually, so that you can understand the problems of the world and where you fit into, in that world picture. And I pray that all the fear that has ever been in your heart will be taken out, and when you look at that man, if you know he's nothing but a coward, you won't fear him. If he wasn't a coward, he wouldn't gang up on you. He wouldn't need to sneak around here. [Applause] This is how they function. They function in mobs - that's a coward. They put on a sheet so you won't know who they are - that's a coward. No! The time will come when that sheet will be ripped off. If the federal government doesn't take it off, we'll take it off."
