#OnThisDay In 1962, Malcolm X speaks at the University of Buffalo’s Harriman Hall . Malcolm X was invited to debate Rev. Clarence L . Hilliard, pastor of St. Paul Baptist Church in Lackawanna, on school integration. Hilliard argued in defense of integration while Malcolm X argued against it, thinking it was regressive. Although espousing separation of races, Malcolm X denied the Muslim movement was a ‘hate organization.’ He said “We are not anti-you, we are just pro-us.” Did you know about this debate?
