There where three gunman. Two where members of the Nation of Ismal, the othe was a street assasin maybe.

One stood up and shouted the code phrase: "Get your hands out of my pockets, n------!" and all three opened fire, one with a shotgun.

When Malcolm X came back from Mecca, he was a changed man. He saw people of all races, Muslims, getting along perfectly together. When he came back to the states, his sermons changed completely, and he started to draw a huge number of people away from Nation of Islam.

Louis Farrakhan wrote a long letter in the church newspaper apologizing for the death of Malcolm X and his role in it. He was never arrested or questioned. Because the Deep Sate wanted X dead, so it was happy. Also, Louis Farrakhan believed that an Evil black scientist created white people six thousand years ago to terrorize blacks. So he was no threat.

*Ismal=Islam. Yawn
