defeating this attempt = by
the enemy to use his lackies, to
stop 4 Black man, who could and
would unite the whole peopie
around truly revalutionary princi-
ples. The lackies co::!d not silence
Malcolm. The enemy had to silence
Malcolm themselves, they placed
guns in the hands of some boot-
licking niggers and shot Malcclm
down. Gefore Malcolm died, he
predicted the rebellions that did
eccur in the urban areas of the
country, He planted the seed of
revolution In the hearts andminds
of the people, He spoke of sclf-
defense, instead of non-violence,
self-etermination, instead of de-
pendency on the enemy ard the
yun as a basic tool of liberation.
He also spoke of the need of a
tridy revolutionary organization
that spoke and acted in the peo-~
ple's Interest. At this point, em-
phasis of the struggle switched to
the Norti, as Malcolm had pre-
dicted, nothing the enemy didcould
Stop it. His old tactic was fail-
ing, Black people were now trily
