As a teenager in the very early 60s, I had a front row seat to the riots that accompanied Michael King Jr’s (that’s his real name) urban rallies. I always understood his national coronation was a scam. Take down the statue and release the tapes!
His national coronation *was* a scam.
The FBI and the rest of the alphabets were scared to death of Malcolm X and the power he was gaining. They wanted a Negro that they could lionize and control. They recorded his hotel room escapades to control him.
