Malcolm warns a Philadelphia audience about FBI intimidation

← Back to Dashboard
Biography 📅 8 July 1955 📍 United States

At a Philadelphia Temple meeting, Malcolm told attendees that the FBI might visit and try to intimidate them. This episode makes surveillance visible as a pressure on ordinary members as well as a file kept on a prominent leader. The surviving report was created by the FBI itself, so it confirms what agents recorded but cannot independently establish the full exchange or the audience's response.
