In an oral-history interview, Robert Penn Warren asked Malcolm about Black identity, Islam, nationalism, and the possibilities of political change. Malcolm distinguished religious belief from the cultural and political recovery of African history. The interview is valuable as a dialogue, not an unmediated monologue: Warren’s questions and liberal assumptions shaped the exchange, and Vanderbilt provides both typed transcripts and audio recordings.
