Malcolm X traveled to Detroit later in the day, giving an interesting account of having to gather his family and leave the house at three in the morning without much time to gather clothes and dress for the cold weather outside. He also apologized for not dressing in more formal clothes for the speaking event, as was his custom.

The speech detailed quite a few of Malcolm’s views and included anecdotes about encountering Muslim believers around the world and how the press portrays the differences between the races, among other things. He was assassinated a week later, on February 21, 1965.

Not “his own people”, but the Nation of Islam, which he had left and turned against by this point.
