I realized there
would be strife,

ties with the Nation of Islam?
87

MALCOLM X: I will create a
coalition for African Unity
88
00:04:55,503 --> 00:04:57,171
to fight for our freedom.
89
00:04:57,255 --> 00:05:00,174
The key goals would be
to secure economic justice,

00:05:02,552 --> 00:05:04,345

racist oppression,

And our group will be
speaking to Black people,

after years of contention?

there's work to be done to

remedy those relationships.
99
00:05:29,454 --> 00:05:33,583

Now in hating Africa,
180
00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:10,920
we ended up hating
ourselves because you
181
00:11:11,003 --> 00:11:15,341
cannot hate the roots of the
tree and not the tree itself.
182
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:19,929
But I'm here to tell
you that the roots,
183
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:25,768
our roots are
beautiful, tremendous.
184
00:11:27,770 --> 00:11:29,146
And when watered correctly,
185
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:31,857
the tree itself will
grow into a magnificent form
186
00:11:31,941 --> 00:11:35,236
of life that will serve
all of us more than we
187
00:11:35,319 --> 00:11:37,363
could have ever met.
188
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:39,323
CROWD: Yeah.
189
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:49,667
(applause)
190
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:53,879
MALCOLM X (over speaker):
There are some things involving
191
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:56,257
the Black Muslim movement,
which when they come to light,
192
00:11:56,340 --> 00:11:57,800
you'll be shocked.
193
00:11:57,883 --> 00:12:00,469
So I urge you to tune into my
speech next week at the Audubon.
194
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:17,236
LOUISE: I know it's been hard.
195
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:22,324

blow after the blow.
196
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:27,705
Things piling up till you
just fall in under the weight.
197
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:30,416
MALCOLM X: I'm dealing
with it, mommy.
198
00:12:30,499 --> 00:12:34,879
It's not the first time I've
had to face something like this,
199
00:12:34,962 --> 00:12:38,215
but this time feels different.
200
00:12:40,843 --> 00:12:44,180
I don't think I'm gonna
make it out of it alive.
201

I'm just happy you are
here after everything.

LOUISE: And you can rest
assured you are not by yourself.

00:13:36,732 --> 00:13:39,819
I seek protection.
Protect my family.

strength I need to continue
213

the ability to face

I've got Grant doing security.

I've advised against searches.
219

I don't want it to be
that kind of space.
220
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:07,304
MALCOLM X (over phone): I'll be
talking for half an hour or so.

00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:08,848
And you know,
222
00:14:08,931 --> 00:14:10,558
I was thinking you
and the girls should come
223
00:14:10,641 --> 00:14:12,518
down to the Audubon.
224
00:14:12,601 --> 00:14:14,728

BETTY X: Well,
let's make it a date.
227
00:14:21,443 --> 00:14:22,820
BETTY X (over phone):
After your lecture,
228
00:14:22,903 --> 00:14:24,488
we can go out to
Long Island and search
229
00:14:24,572 --> 00:14:26,156
for a new place.
230
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,492
MALCOLM X: That's a good idea.
231
00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:31,954

sleep on this mattress.
232

sleep anyway,
233
00:14:34,707 --> 00:14:36,625

234
00:14:40,212 --> 00:14:42,548
Well, I should get going.
235
00:14:43,465 --> 00:14:45,926

00:32:14,557 --> 00:32:16,434
The riots have Memphis on edge.
526
00:32:16,517 --> 00:32:20,355
KING JR.: Everything's
going to be fine.
527
00:32:21,230 --> 00:32:25,193
When I get back, I promise to
spend more downtime at home.
528
00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:31,950
Listen, I know I've sacrificed
a lot for the movement and
529
00:32:32,033 --> 00:32:34,911
it's caused me to be a,
530
00:32:34,994 --> 00:32:38,164
an absent
husband and father.
531
00:32:38,247 --> 00:32:39,582
CORETTA: That's
not true or fair.
532
00:32:39,666 --> 00:32:42,877
KING JR.: But I haven't
sacrificed as much as you.
533
00:32:42,961 --> 00:32:44,837
Everyone gives me credit.
534
00:32:44,921 --> 00:32:49,676
But this movement wouldn't
have got this far without you.
535
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:51,928
Of all the decisions
I've ever had to make,
536
00:32:52,011 --> 00:32:55,306
the best one is marrying you.
537
00:32:58,309 --> 00:32:59,727
So when I get back,
538
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:02,605
let's figure out a
weekend for Atlanta City.
539
00:33:02,689 --> 00:33:03,815
CORETTA: Okay.
540
00:33:03,898 --> 00:33:05,441
KING JR.: All right.
541
00:33:19,163 --> 00:33:21,082

(applause and cheering)
543
00:33:35,054 --> 00:33:40,893
Every chapter of fighting for
the struggle has brought upon
544
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:43,563
a challenging battle.
545
00:33:44,564 --> 00:33:49,110
But I'm not afraid of what
happened yesterday because,
546
00:33:49,777 --> 00:33:53,197
through it all, it's my
unshakeable faith in God that
547
00:33:53,281 --> 00:33:55,867
guides me through any hard days.
548
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:02,540
And there will be harder
days and bloodshed amongst
549
00:34:02,623 --> 00:34:05,793
the most vulnerable.
550
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:10,173
So while I cannot say that my
tomorrow is promised to me,
551
00:34:10,465 --> 00:34:14,218
I'm here to testify that no
matter what happens to me,
552
00:34:14,302 --> 00:34:15,595
we as a people,
553
00:34:15,678 --> 00:34:18,723

they're here in Gary.

we're here and why the

National Black Convention
is so important,
622
00:40:33,472 --> 00:40:35,641

many different issues.

BETTY X: I have been
introduced as the widow of
638
00:41:09,341 --> 00:41:11,218
Malcolm X so many
times I'm starting to
639
00:41:11,302 --> 00:41:13,304
believe it's my name.
640
00:41:13,637 --> 00:41:16,849
CORETTA: Oh, but from what
I hear is it's going to be
641
00:41:16,932 --> 00:41:18,976
Dr. Shabazz real soon.
642
00:41:19,059 --> 00:41:21,312

sweet of you to say,

classes one day a week.

are watching you do it and

CORETTA: I know Martin would,
652
00:41:43,292 --> 00:41:45,711
and I suspect that
Minister Malcolm would too.
653
00:41:45,794 --> 00:41:49,548
BETTY X: Hmm. He'd smile.
That I can assure you.

get some ice cream.
656
00:41:55,888 --> 00:41:58,015
CORETTA: I used to say
that Martin's sweet tooth
657
00:41:58,098 --> 00:42:00,559
had a sweet tooth.

You know, Martin really
did respect Malcolm.
661

BETTY X: Uh-hmm.
Malcolm respected Martin.
662
00:42:16,325 --> 00:42:19,411
What gets overlooked is all
the things they had in common.
663
00:42:19,495 --> 00:42:20,871
CORETTA: Uh-hmm.
664
00:42:20,955 --> 00:42:25,751
BETTY X: Like their, their
work ethic and the spirituality
665
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,798
and sense of duty
to their people.
666
00:42:33,676 --> 00:42:35,761
It's a shame they aren't here
to see how their legacies have

impacted so many.
668
00:42:44,228 --> 00:42:46,730
CORETTA: It really is.
669
00:42:47,106 --> 00:42:52,903

continue to keep their ideas
