The words and images of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X — part 3 of 7
\nThrough Jan. 21, UNMC Today will feature photos and quotations from Martin Luther King Jr. and his political counterpart, Malcolm X. Today’s selections discuss their feelings about violence directed against them and their families.<\/p>\n

The weekday feature will lead up to the Jan. 21 presentation of “The Meeting,” a fictional portrayal of an encounter between Dr. King and Malcolm X. Hosted by UNMC and NHS, the play will be from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Lower Storz of NHS Clarkson Hospital (overflow attendance to Wittson Hall Amphitheater).

Malcolm X<\/B>

\n On Sunday morning about three o’clock, somebody threw some
\n bombs inside my house. Normally I wouldn’t get excited over
\n a few bombs, but the ones who threw these not only aimed
\n them in rooms where there was no one, but even in rooms
\n where three of my daughters sleep. One daughter six, one
\n daughter four, and one daughter two. And since I am quite
\n certain that those who threw the bombs knew my house well
\n enough to know where everyone was sleeping, I can’y quite
\n bring my heart to the point where it can in any way be
\n merciful, or from now on compromising, toward anyone who can
\n be that low.<\/FONT><\/P>

Martin Luther King Jr.<\/B>

\n Due to my involvement in the struggle for the freedom of my
\n people, I have known very few quiet days in the last few
\n years. I have been imprisoned in Alabama and Georgia jails
\n twelve times. My home has been bombed twice. A day seldom
\n passes that my family and I are not the recipients of
\n threats of death. I have been the victim of a near-fatal
\n stabbing. So in a real sense I have been battered by the
\n storms of persecution.<\/FONT><\/P><\/p>\n

On Sept. 20, 1958, Dr. King
\n suffered a nearly fatal stab wound by a deranged woman,
\n while autographing books in a Harlem department store.The
\n steel letter opener had penetrated the outer wall of the
\n aorta. (See arrow) Surgeons later said that if Dr. King was
\n a “sneeze or cough away from death.” His assailant was later
\n committed to a institution for the criminally insane. Photo
