antihostile- Malcolm X appears on a television in Chicago called "City Desk" on March 17, 1963. Interviewers are Chicago journalists Jim Hurlbut, Len O'Connor, Floyd Kalber, and Charles McCuen. "My father didn't know his last name. My father got his last name from his grandfather and his grandfather got it from his grandfather who got it from the slavemaster. The real names of our people were destroyed during slavery. The last name of my forefathers was taken from them when they were brought to America and made slaves, and then the name of the slavemaster was given, which we refuse, we reject that name today and refuse it. I never acknowledge it whatsoever."
