Episode 177 - The Malcolm X Assassination (Part VII)

A timeline of events leading up to February 21, 1965 that illustrates how Malcolm X was not longer just a threat to Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam, but was now a threat to the United States government.

Edgar Hoover was already on record stating he would do everything in his power to prevent.
