RBG Street Scholar On "How Martin and Malcolm Were Down Wit Each Other"
Many, if not most, don't realize that in the end Malcolm and Martin had began to work together. Nonetheless, they actually respected and learned from each other all along. Here's a quote from Martin on Malcolm shortly after Malcolm's murder:
Dr. King on Malcolm X: "You know, right before he was killed he came down to Selma and said some pretty passionate things against me, and that surprised me because after all it was my territory there. But afterwards he took my wife aside, and said he thought he could help me more by attacking me than praising me. He thought it would make it easier for me in the long run."
Martin was killed as he began to develop a socialist view and analysis of america (see the Mumia link below). Such as Malcolm had already integrated and was moving toward internationalism. Malcolm's trip to the Afrikan and meetings with the heads of state was primarily to raise money for the Black social, political and economic movements of the U.S. at that time.

SNCC leaders ( H Rap, Kwame, Mukassa, Chairman Omali etc) left the non-violent front and hooked up with BPP cause they wasn't wit all that taking a ass whipin to no avail B.S. In fact one of Malcolm's famous lectures is Human Rights vs Civil Rights--to paraphrase a lil "Human rights comes before civil rights, human rights is the right to be a human being"...This is what the whole "We Charge Genoide Initative--Taking the U.S. in front of a world court/United Nations...sprung from, Human Rights.
Folx who define Malcolm as a civil rights leader are not fully informed and do his legacy a dis-service--He was a human right leader by his own words.
