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.

But if you look back at like the time frame of all this stuff, this guy changed the world or left such an indelible mark that people are still learning from him all these years later over essentially the course of 10 years.

That was about the timeline that we're talking about from when he took up the Nation of Islam's teachings to when he was assassinated by the Nation of Islam.

It was just about a decade.

And that's how much of an impact that he made over just that time.

Yeah, Julia helped us big time.

Yeah, it is remarkable.

So you can go read the autobiography of Malcolm X. Also, I've seen that Malcolm X Speaks is a really great book.

I think it's his collected speeches.

There's the Spike Lee movie.

There's Make It Plain, the PBS documentary.
