This interview at the University of California, Berkeley, features Professor John Leggett and Herman Blake, a graduate student from the Sociology Department, chatting to Malcolm X about what it means to be a black Muslim in the United States of the 1960's. He is asked about the then conditions of blacks in the country, their relationship with white people, and Minister Malcolm X also goes on to make the case for black separatism, whilst attempting to show white Americans what inequality actually means to the estimated 20 million African-Americans. This interview gives us a glimpse into the way in which civil rights activists had to 'explain themselves' when only looking for a fair and just society to be part of, in the World's most 'democratic' nation.
