Martin Luther King Jr.’s harsh criticism of Malcolm X — published in a 1965 Playboy interview and believed to signal a rift between the civil rights leaders — has been exposed as a “real fraud” after unedited transcripts of the interview were unearthed.
Additionally, the published King quote, “I feel that Malcolm has done himself and our people a great disservice,” does not appear at all in the unedited transcript, which suggests that Haley, a journalist at the time who has posthumously been accused of plagiarism and historical inaccuracies in his work, concocted the quote to commit what Eig called “journalistic malpractice.
” interview, King also says of Malcolm X, “I totally disagree with many of his political and philosophical views, as I understand them. He very articulate, as you say. I don’t want to seem to sound as if I feel so self-righteous, or absolutist, that I think I have the only truth, the only way. Maybe he does have some of the answer.
