On April 27th in Los Angeles California, two Muslim brothers are questioned by Los Angeles police while unloading suits from a car in front of their mosque. A scuffle breaks out as members of the Nation of Islam leave the mosque to aid their brothers and more officers arrive on the scene ( approximately 75 officers) leads to gunfire seven members of the Nation of Islam are wounded and one man Ronald Stokes, the Mosque Secretary, is killed by police. This incident leads to the speech you are about to hear which also helped push Malcolm into the national spotlight.
