Summary
This document is a draft excerpt (dated April 2, 2012) from a memoir, likely by Alan Dershowitz (based on the House Oversight Bates stamp and biographical details regarding Harvard Law), recounting his experience introducing Malcolm X at the Harvard Law Forum in the 1960s. The text details a dinner conversation where Malcolm X claimed he would be safer in Israel than in the US or Arab countries, and a later interaction with Dean Archie Epps regarding the editorial choices in the book 'Malcolm X Speaks at Harvard'.
