00:00:59

1964 - Malcolm X publicly announces his break from the Nation of Islam. Expressing his desire to work with other civil rights leaders, he meets with Martin Luther King as the U.S. Senate debates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He delivers “The Ballot or the Bullet” speech, advising African Americans to vote while warning the government to support racial equality. On his pilgrimage to Mecca to partake in the hajj, Malcolm X has a revelation, seeing Islam as a way to bring people together to solve racial problems. Traveling abroad, he shares his message with media channels, state officials and college students. When he returns home to the United States, his life is constantly threatened. On February 21, 1965, three members of the Nation of Islam assassinate Malcolm X; silencing one of the greatest and most influential African Americans in history.
