El-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz (Malcolm X) Speaks on Celebrities and Separation at UC Berkeley (1963)

"I just told you a little while ago these 'leaders' that they called leaders. this included (laughs) Lena Horne, this included Dick Gregory and this included comedians, comics, trumpet players, baseball players. Show me in the white community where a comedian is a 'white leader.' Show me in the white community where a singer is a 'white leader. Or a dancer or a trumpet player is a 'white leader', these aren't leaders. These are puppets and clowns that have been set up over the white community and- over the Black community by the white community and have been made celebrities and usually say exactly what they know that the white man wants to hear."

"I will never say that progress is being made.

If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress.

If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. The progress is healing the wound that's below, that the blow made. And they haven't even begun to pull the knife out, much less pull, heal the wound...

They won't even admit the knife is there."

On this day, 21 February 1965, el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, better known as Malcolm X, instrumental speaker and activist of the US civil rights and Black power movements, was assassinated while preparing to address a crowd of supporters in New York. Formerly a member of the Nation of Islam (NoI), Malcolm X publicly split with the organisation due to issues such as NoI leader Elijah Mohammed failing to approve action to respond to police attacks on Black Muslims in Los Angeles. Instead he founded his own mosque, as well as the secular Organization of Afro-American Unity. Already a target of both the police and FBI, NoI activist Louis Farrakhan also declared Malcolm to be "worthy of death". On February 21, Malcolm stepped up to speak at the Audubon ballroom when he was shot. Mujahid Abdul Halim, a NoI member from New Jersey was apprehended fleeing the scene with a clip from one of the murder weapons, and admitted his participation in the killing. However, two other Black Muslims from the Harlem mosque were subsequently arrested and convicted of the crime: Khalil Islam and Muhamad Abdul Abdul Aziz. This was despite a lack of evidence and the fact that they, and Halim, protested their innocence. In an effort to win the freedom for Islam and Aziz, Halim even filed affidavits naming his four co-conspirators – all from the New Jersey mosque. But prosecutors repeatedly refused to reopen the case. After the case gained new attention following the 2020 release of a Netflix documentary series on the murder, Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance Jr agreed to review the case. The review revealed that evidence suggesting Islam and Aziz were innocent had been withheld from the defence, in part following pressure from FBI director J Edgar Hoover. Their convictions were eventually overturned in November 2021.

Malikah Shabazz

By: Dennis Richmond, Jr.

Malikah Shabazz, 56, was found dead in her Brooklyn residence yesterday. Shabazz was the daughter of the iconic human rights activist el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, famously known as Malcolm X. Her mother, the late Dr. Betty Shabazz, used to call Yonkers home.

Police said the death appears to be due to natural causes at this time. This tragedy occurred less than one week after Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam came home from prison. The two men are home after being locked up for the murder of Malcolm X. The men can thank Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance, Jr.

His office found that Aziz and Islam did not receive a fair trial. The District Attorney also discovered that the FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover, withheld evidence during the trial. This evidence would have proved their innocence.

Bernice King is the daughter of the late Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. King tweeted about the death of Malikah. “I’m deeply saddened by the death of #MalikahShabazz,” she said. “My heart goes out to her family, the descendants of Dr. Betty Shabazz and Malcolm X. Dr. Shabazz was pregnant with Malikah and her twin sister, Malaak, when Brother Malcolm was assassinated. Be at peace, Malikah.”
