MALCOLM X at Harvard...Then

The Harvard Law School Forum, March 24, 1961, from the front page on March 25, 1961:

"Last night, Malcolm X's first speech was long and repetitive; his followers were silent. After his opponent...states the NAACP's case, the Muslim leader became more passionate ('You people wouldn't be here at Harvard if your forefathers hadn't said 'Liberty or Death'--we say the same thing')." --Paul S. Cowan '62

The Leverett House Forum, March 18, 1964 from the editorial page, March 21, 1964:

"Some of you think you've come to a circus to watch a dancing bear," said the moderator cynically. Perhaps some had, but Malcolm X was no dancing bear, no exotic specimen of a Near-Eastern religion, no man to be clinically observed.   --Benjamin W. Heineman '65

"'I would refuse to follow a general who accepted a peace prize before the battle was won,'" Malcolm X told nearly 1000 people attending...in Sanders Theatre last night [in reference to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.]."
