Feb. 4, 1965 | Malcolm X in Selma

Feb. 4, 1965 - Malcolm X, black nationalist leader, spoke with 300 young people today at the Brown Chapel AME Church in Selma, Ala. He came at the invitation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
During his talk, Mr. X said: “The white people should thank Dr. King for holding people in check, for there are others who do not believe in these measures.”
He also called on President Johnson to make a full investigation of the Ku Klux Klan, reminding the crowd that 97% of Negro voters cast their ballots for Johnson last November.
