There was a photographer there.

So there's a very famous picture of them together.

And then later that year, in July 64, that's when Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, and it was signed into law by Lyndon Johnson.

And that was not the end for Malcolm X, though.

He thought he was just getting started, very sadly, though.

Yeah, which is full circle because I don't think we mentioned that when their house was burned down when he was a little kid, they actually accused his dad, Earl, of burning his own house down.

So the same thing happened all those years later.

That was on February 14th, 1965.

On February 18th, they formally evicted him.

And then on February 21st, he was murdered.

He was shot and killed in front of his, in front of Betty, in front of the girls.

I think there were four girls at the time because Betty was pregnant with the twins that would be born after his death.

Right.

And this was in Harlem at an Organization of Afro-American Unity meeting.

And they arrested three members of the Nation of Islam.

One confessed and said the other two weren't involved, but all three were convicted, even though later on, I think in 2021, the other two were exonerated after the Attorney General of New York saw that they had buried some exculpatory evidence, you know, back when it happened.

yeah for sure uh you know i mentioned that the twins were born after he died um they you know obviously grew up without their dad and the other girls weren't that much older um and they always just knew him as dad he you know i think the ones that were

um kind of didn't even know him at all they weren't raised uh by betty as um like hey your dad was a revolutionary he was this or that apparently they learned about him mainly in school because betty always wanted him just to be a dad and my husband um and so they were you know they went on to do a lot of great things as well we should probably do one on betty shabazz at some point she was a great woman and uh his daughters all you know became activists in their own way as well

Yeah, that was a pretty great quote that, who is this?

Was this Julia that helped us with this?
