There were growing tensions between Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam.

Malcolm X joined in 1952 the Nation of Islam, founded and led by Elijah Muhammad. For a little more than a decade he was a very active and prominent member of the organization, promoting a great growth in number and public knowledge. Tensions with Muhammad led him to leave the Nation of Islam in March 1964.

After founding Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Organization of African-American Unity, converting to Sunnism (the majority branch of Islam), he made an international tour that included his pilgrimage to Mecca. On his return to his country he deepened his differences with the Nation of Islam and after submitting successive death threats, some of his members shot him point blank in February 1965 during a speech in Harlem.
