Malcolm X press conference on deadly police raid in Los Angeles (footage excerpt, 1962)
On April 27, 1962, a confrontation initiated by Los Angeles Police Department officers against members of the Nation of Islam (NOI) at their Mosque No. 27 (located near downtown L.A.) turned deadly. What began as police harassment of two NOI members (falsely suspected of selling stolen clothing) escalated when officers used a racial epithet and attempted to place one of the men in a chokehold. Amid the physical struggle, NOI members inside of the mosque rushed outside to assist. 70 LAPD officers were ultimately deployed to the melee, where they conducted a brutal raid of the mosque. Unarmed NOI member Ronald Stokes, a Korean War veteran, was shot and killed by police from behind as he reportedly held his hands up in the air. Six other unarmed Muslims were shot by police, including William X Rogers, who was left paralyzed from a bullet wound to the back.
In the direct wake of the violent police attack, New York-based NOI minister and human rights activist Malcolm X, founder of Los Angeles’ Mosque No. 27 in 1957 and a friend of Stokes, rushed to Los Angeles. On May 4, 1962, Malcom X held a press conference at the Los Angeles Statler-Hilton Hotel to bring international attention to the deadly LAPD actions and the gross mischaracterizations of events in the press by LAPD Chief William H. Parker. Unedited and unidentified footage obtained from the Los Angeles City Archives contains substantial excerpts of what appears to be the Statler-Hilton Hotel press conference. The footage documents Malcolm X fielding questions from reporters, and directly assailing the racism and extreme brutality of the April 27, 1962 raid. In his remarks, Malcolm X presents graphic photos that illustrate the fatal injuries inflicted upon Stokes by police. The next day on May 5th, Malcolm X delivered a powerful eulogy to an estimated crowd of 2,000 at a memorial service for Stokes, which was held at Mosque No. 27.
This historic footage came to the UCLA Film & Television Archive from the Los Angeles City Archives, via City Archivist Michael Holland. UCLA digitally scanned the single 16mm composite reel for preservation and access purposes; the original print was returned to the Los Angeles City Archives. The footage itself was likely shot by the news division of a Los Angeles local TV station--presumably originally obtained by the LAPD for intelligence gathering purposes. The 16mm composite reel includes additional footage (omitted here) of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad speaking at an unrelated press conference in Los Angeles in 1961 as well as extended, surveillance-style footage of members of the Black press attending one or both of the press events.

    The two men I most admire in American political history are Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Minister Malcolm X/El~Hajj Malik El~Shabazz because they both spoke the unvarnished truth. Ironically, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who reported to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, placed Minister Shabazz under FBI surveillance during the 1960s.

    This incident was one of the pivotal turning points in Malcolm's exit from the NOI. One his his best friends was killed (Ronald Stokes). Malcolm took to heart the NOI stance..."if someone puts a hand on you, send them to the cemetery". He truly believed that the NOI, would retaliate in this incident against the LAPD. However, Elijah Muhammad gave the order for everyone to stand down. This deeply troubled Malcolm...as you see in this interview...he is troubled by this incident.

Gordon Parks was Malcolm’s photographer at the time and he said Mayer Yorty had to call Mr Muhammad and beg him to get Malcolm out of Los Angeles because Malcolm was bringing major heat on the L.A. police and gaining major support from the black community out there. So Malcolm had to follow orders and leave. Malcolm’s close associates said he was highly pissed.

    @@noreneal7252 I found out about that great man sometime ago listening to WBAI(NY) somebody mentioned his name and I saw his name in a book called "BLOOD DONE SIGNED MY NAME"written by Tim Tyson who wrote a book about him and his exploits if you know "RADIO FREE DIXIE" it was very informative.He like MX was not afraid to speak out against the White Supremacist in the '60s.I have been saying that this man needs his life story told for those who are not familiar with him.I think a guy named ANTHONY ANDERSON from the sit-com BLACKISH should get first dibs at playing this forgotten hero.

    I'm a 63-year-old white man. I've seen racism up close and it, over the years, has taught me to hate it. I am and have been a fan of Malcom X for quite a few years, I get it. He didn't advocate hate. He believed in ones right to defend themselves, their families and property, a live and let live type of philosophy. He believed in self-defense, not hate, BIG FAN. He actually said verbatim, "I hate all forms of racism against anyone." He never carried a weapon, as a matter of fact it was against his religion to carry any type of weapons.

Their three main questions would be about his name, why the movement was violent, or what King and the boys was doing. And he would cook them every time. It would've been nice to see him actually slap a few of them tho...
