Malcolm later moves to his cousin's house in New York, where he begins to deal with crime. Soon he ended up in prison, and that is where his life completely changed. Malcolm spent most of his time in the library.

After leaving prison, he joined the group "Nation of Islam" and renounced his surname "Little" which symbolized slavery and changed his surname to X.
