Manning Marable
There was deep knowledge on the part of members of the Nation of Islam regarding the planning, in sight of the OAAU and the Muslim Mosque Incorporated regarding the events at the Audubon. They knew when they were going to be there, they knew what the schedules were.
Manning Marable
Malcolm X had a clear vision and an understanding that we were - that he was a part of a broad freedom struggle.
