- Can you give us a statement?
- Is he still alive?
2:59:33
The person you know
as Malcolm X is no more.
2:59:36
The assassination ofMalcolm X...
2:59:40
..was an unfortunate tragedy...
2:59:43
..and it reveals thatthere are still
numerous people in our nation...
2:59:48
..who have degenerated to the point
of expressing dissent through murder.
2:59:54
We haven't learned to disagree
without being violent.
2:59:59
Here, at this final hour...
3:00:03
..in this quiet place...
3:00:07
..Harlem has come to bid farewell
to one ofits brightest hopes...
3:00:12
..extinguished now
and gone from us forever.
3:00:18
It is not in the memory
of man that this berated...
3:00:22
..unfortunate,
but nonetheless proud community...
3:00:26
..has found a braver,
more gallant young champion...
3:00:29
..than this Afro-American
who lies before us...
3:00:33
..unconquered still.
3:00:35
I say the word again as he would
want me to: Afro-American...
3:00:40
..the Afro-American Malcolm.
3:00:45
Malcolm had stopped
being negro years ago.
3:00:49
It had become too small,
too puny, too weak a word for him.
3:00:55
Malcolm was biggerthan that, Malcolm
had become an Afro-American...
