Malcolm, discussing Elijah Muhammad's meaning of the word "Muslim" states, "There are 20 million dormant Muslims in the United States. . . . A Muslim means to us somebody who is for the black man. I don't care if he goes to the Baptist church seven days a week. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says that a black man is a Muslim when he is born. A Muslim by nature." At the bottom of the page Malcolm has written: "The public was shocked when they first heard this truth, but now the public is becoming used to it. The Truth hasn't changed, the public has. Malcolm X."
