Black Muslims seek a separate Negro state in United States
AP interview with Muhammad Elijah portrays the Black Muslims leader advocating complete separation from whites, proposing a self-governing Negro nation or territory. He rejects integration, casts whites as evil, and says some Negroes could gain identity through joining the movement. He recalls prior draft-evading jail time and contrasts past wars with the civil rights struggle.
