Yeah, I saw that, too.

And not just the FBI, but also the NYPD.

Just let it happen.

So just real quick, Chuck, I say we take a break in a second and talk about his break with the Nation of Islam.

But I just wanted to kind of give a thumbnail sketch of like what he was saying.

You can go listen.

You should start with maybe the ballot or the bullet is a great speech that gets his point across from this era.

But essentially what he was saying is black people have to learn to do for themselves everything.

Integrating and then saying like, you know, hey, let's all just share from the same pot with white people isn't going to work because white people will always hang it over you.

So we have to figure out how to do it ourselves using the Nation of Islam.

That's how you prop somebody up, get them on the right path, put them on the moral path and away from temptation.

And then after that, you teach them black nationalism.

So now they feel good about being a black person.

And then from that point on, they have the dignity and the motivation to make something for themselves as a community.

That was his goal.

That's ultimately what he was preaching.

That was the kernel of the whole thing.

So, Chuck, Malcolm X has become he's the face of the Nation of Islam to the press, to the public.

People like they know the name Elijah Muhammad.

You might even have seen him speak.
