After his trip to Mecca in April 1964, he realized he'd made a lot of mistakes in how he did things originally; he turned away from the racism of the Nation of Islam, and sought to become a true egalitarian.....and that was something that truly terrified TPTB, just as MLK's turn to socialist ideas would not long afterwards.

R.I.P. Malcolm X-a man who erred, but also a man who redeemed himself, and was cut down too soon.
