A very candid and open lecture about Malcolm X a few days after he had been kill by an FBI undercover operation. Part of the book address his "New" philosophical teaching, which laid the base for many black nationalist organizations, most famous of which was the Black Panther Party.
People in 1931 in the United States founded Nation of Islam, a religious and cultural organization, espousing principles and favoring political, social, and economic independence for African Americans; American activist Elijah Muhammad, originally Elijah Poole led it from 1934 to 1975.
This lecture was given by Elijah Muhammad at the Saviour's Day Convention on February 26, 1965---five days after Malcolm X was murdered.
Here are some quotations from the lecture:
"I have never been through, or rather in any high school. I never was in college/university, but I can say to you that Almighty, God, was my Teacher and I really love the courses that He has taken me through." (Pg. 22-23) "We didn't want to kill Malcolm and didn't try to kill him. We knew that ignorant foolish teachings would bring him to his own end... He got just what he preached... and was taking you to your own doom." (Pg. 31-32) "If Malcolm had died a natural death, while he was with me and his followers, we would have given him one of the most glorious burials... But it's just the opposite. The Holy Qur'an forbids the Messenger to stand even beside the grave of a hypocrite. We can't even say a good word for his wife because she was with him and she still has not declared herself against his ... teaching." (Pg. 47)
