The lead story:

Mike Wallace: 
"Good evening. You could walk a few blocks from Harlem today to see for yourself the contrast between the drawing power of the moderate and the extremists in their competition for Negro leadership. On Seventh Avenue a rally of moderates drew 200 people. On Lenox Avenue, at the same time,
Malcolm X drew 2000. 
The moderates were asking for equal justice in Mississippi. The Muslims were preaching racial superiority. Malcolm X demanded that negroes throw out the burden of drugs, alcoholism and vice, that he said the white government has loaded on the negroes back. And  then Malcolm X went on to say"

Malcolm X:
"Mr. Muhammad rejects superiorism (sic) because he teaches you and me not only that we are as good as the white man, but better than the white man."

Additional coverage of Malcolm X preaching is broadcast. Mike Wallace returns to summarize this rally.
