I am convinced that the Black man will only reach his full potential when he learns to draw upon the strengths and insights of the Black woman.

The MMI brothers, who provided security for Malcolm X had been trained by Malcolm himself that inside of the Nation of Islam, whenever there is a diversion, you protect the principal. The principal, in this case Malcolm, clearly was not protected on February 21st [1965].

We know from Talmadge Hayer, one of the men who carried out the assassination, who was shot by Ruben X as he tried to flee the Audubon after shooting Malcolm X, we know that Hayer confessed years later to his Imam in prison that there had been a walk-through a week prior to February 21st [1965] at the Audubon Ballroom.

I believe that the FBI clearly was concerned, wanted to monitor and disrupt Malcolm X wherever possible.

[Malcolm X] shared with Marcus Garvey a commitment to building strong black institutions. He shared with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a commitment to peace and the freedom of racialized minorities.

Malcolm X had a clear vision and an understanding that we were - that he was a part of a broad freedom struggle.

The crisis of black politics can only be resolved through the development of multiclass, multiracial, progressive political structures.
