That's early, Nation of Islam, Malcolm X. After he made Hajj, he evolved. I think Malcolm did a lot to help the Civil Rights movement-he told white folks exactly what time it was. Check out his later work after he left the Nation, then come back and let's talk.
There's a wonderful photo of Malcolm's and Martin's only meeting where they are smiling their faces off and gripping each other's hands so tight it's not funny. It's my favorite.
BTW- Marcus Garvey, although I find him problematic.
