on Malcolm X

The civil rights leaders of the 1960s all met violent deaths.  Dr. King and Malcolm X were assassinated, others gunned down outside their homes.  What about the social change caused such an uproar that people would rather kill them instead of let them preach?  The social movement that had and still does change the minds and hearts of people throughout the country was still raging in the streets.  Malcolm X had left the NOI in favor of a more moderate approach to Islam, even accepting whites.  This ended in his death, as members of the NOI gunned him down in 1965.  MLK did not live much longer, as he was killed in 1968.  The doctor said that at 39 years old, he had a heart that looked 60, perhaps from the stress of his life.  Both these men have conspiracy theories around their deaths, and both of them had begun to change their views to a more global scale.  One could wonder what the world would be like if these men had lived.
