The thirteen colonies "|. . became separated frou England, bet
they .:;-c mnde the Declaration of Independence; they did not —
call it the Declaration of Separation, they called it the +
Declaration of Independence. Then you are independent cf
anyone, you can separate yourself. If you cannot separate
yourself, this means that you are not independent. Well,
what was your question?

What is your program for attaining independence?
Malnat=a ¥
When the black man of this land will wake up,
when he will become intellectually an adult and when he will
be capable of thinking for himself, you will see that he can
only ~ become independent and be treated as & human being by
the other husan beings if he possesses the sane things as they
and when he does the sane things as they. Therefore, the
first thing to do is to wake him up. Sere, the Islanic
religion 4ids hia to free hiaself of 311 the vices and ail
the defects of this fumoral society, and, on the other band,
the political, economic and social philosophy of black nationalisn
will give him the racial dignity and teach him only to depend
on hisself.
R.
Do you intend to employ mass action?
Malcola X
Certainly.
It is better not to speak about it for the mouent,
but it is certain that we intend to initiate mass action.
Bow about elections? Will the Muslis Mosque,
Incorporated, present its own candidates or will you vote
for other candidates?
