Dick Elman interviews Malcolm X regarding Los Angeles police assault upon a mosque

Malcolm X details the events which lead to an unprovoked assault upon a mosque in Los Angeles.  The events began when two African-American men were taking clothing from their car and giving them to other African-Americans.  Then two white policemen drove by and observed the activity, they issued an all-points bulletin and ordered the men to submit.  The response, however, sent the police to a nearby mosque.  The police entered the hall shooting.  Seven unarmed Muslims were shot, then arrested and held without hospitalization.  Malcolm X details their injuries, and repeats the racist comments radioed by the policemen involved.  He concludes with an explanation of how Muslims should respond when confronted by the police.
