Within a News Broadcast, an interview with Malcolm X.  

NEWS COMMENTATOR:
"Two Days ago, Malcolm X, right hand man to Black Muslim chieftain Elijah Muhammad, resigned from that black supremacist sect.   
Today, Malcolm X called a news conference and he told a jammed house that he was forming his own Muslim Mosque in New York City."

SECOND NEWS COMMENTATOR:
"Much of what Malcolm X said he said before while still cure apparent to Elijah Muhammad. He added a few new touches making it clear we will be hearing a great deal from this tall literate man who believes that the white race is doomed. For example, Malcolm X urged Negroes to form gun clubs."

We hear Malcolm X, in a sit down interview, discuss his policy and philosophical views. 

Questions by interviewer  answered by Malcolm X:

- Why is it necessary to own guns for self defense?
-The possibility of riots and civil war developing in America.
-The proposition of advocating or not advocating violence.
-Why working with Civil Rights groups will eliminate suffering in the US by Negroes.
-Opinion related to old line civil rights leaders.
-Goals of his current political activities.
-Why he left Elijah Muhammad.
