Within just a few months, he would be dead.

And it's just so sad that he underwent that transformation.

And all of a sudden, his potential is really starting to blossom.

He turned into like a full butterfly for the first time.

And he's struck down.

The first thing that happened that kind of just foreshadowed his death was his house was firebombed by, he was quite sure, members of the Nation of Islam.

Apparently one of the bombs was thrown through a window that would have landed in and on the three of his little girls in their room, but luckily it shattered on the outside of the window and didn't make it through.

But it burned his house essentially down.

And this was a house that was owned by the Nation of Islam.

So they went as far as to accuse him of burning it down because they had evicted him from the house.

And so out of spite, he burned it down, which was obviously not true.

Right.

So you were talking about how the FBI let it happen.

The NYPD apparently helped pave the way by arresting a couple of his bodyguards on BS charges.

So he was short security on that day.

And at his funeral, like he had made quite a name for himself.

I think 1,500 people showed up, which is a pretty good turnout for your funeral.

And Ossie Davis, who was very much in with the Martin Luther King version of the civil rights movement, he led Malcolm X's funeral because he was just that moved by him, even though he didn't see eye to eye on a bunch of stuff.

Like he realized what a loss this was for the black community and the world.

So, yeah, I kind of mentioned like how just sad this is that he was struck down, especially at the time he was struck down.
