group.
He did not mention in his speech the presence
in the city of ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, the Black Musiim
leader with whom he recently split. Asked te
comment on Mr. MUHAMMAD, MALCOLM X replied:
"We all should band together and go to
ae Mississippi. This is my closing message to ELIJAH
peal MUHAMMAD: Lead us against our enemy, don't lead
Rov us against each other”.
The "New York Times" dated June 30, 1964,
contained an article captioned "MALCOLM Says
MUHAMMAD Fails Cause of Negroes". According to
this article MAICOLM X, the dissident Black
Muslim criticized ELIJAH MUHAMMAD yesterday for
not using his organization to fight bigotry in
the South. Since breaking with the MUHAMMAD
group, MALCOLM X has operated through his own
Afro-American Unity Organization. ELIJAH spends
his time denouncing white persons and my followers,
MALCOLM dedared in interview. "Why doesn't he
denounce the Ku Klux Klan and the White Citizens
Councils? Why doesn't he send followers to
Mississippi and Florida to help the Negro and white
civil yightse volunteers who are trying to better
things there?"
