The two reports in this section reflect Malcolmâs speaking activities in Chicago, Detroit, and Philadelphia during 1955 and 1956. At this point, the FBI believed that Malcolm was the No. 2 or No. 3 man in NOI, and that he represented Elijah Muhammad in Atlanta on August 26, 1956.
His speeches are militant and metaphorical, containing numerous prophetic warnings and references to the white man as âthe devil.â In Philadelphia, Malcolm delivered a scathing indictment in his customary angry manner:
Who hung this man on this tree? Your white Christian brother.

The white man brags about these things in the library. He has made you so blind that you sit and read this and say, âOh, thatâs about people years ago.â They are still hanging black men on trees.
Malcolm expresses awareness of government infiltration of the NOI and gives members explicit instructions on how to deal with FBI agents. In the first report, he is quoted as telling a group of followers âthat they would be visited by the . . . FBI, but that was only an effort to intimidate them. . . .â Malcolm spoke extensivelyabout
