On this date in 1965, Malcolm X was assassinated in the Audubon Ballroom in Manhattan. The three assassins were all members of the Nation of Islam. Malcolm X had previously been a member of the NoI, but had left the organization a year earlier after a falling out with the group’s leader, Elijah Muhammad.
All three of the killers were arrested, tried, and convicted. Two of them were paroled in the 1980s. The third was paroled in 2010.

John D.:
Too many people recall his stint WITH the NoI, but never want to get into WHY he left and what he “converted” to.
That’s a good story in and of itself.
Stay safe out there.
