We examine his intellectual and spiritual awakening inside the Massachusetts penal system, where he embraced the Nation of Islam and reshaped his identity. Upon his release, he built the organisation into a national force, galvanising urban communities with demands for self-defence and black pride. We trace his complex relationship with Elijah Muhammad, his eventual departure from the Nation, and his profound pilgrimage to Mecca that broadened his vision to encompass global human rights. Finally, we look at his urgent months attempting to build a Pan-Africanist coalition, the tragic circumstances of his assassination at the Audubon Ballroom, and the enduring global legacy he left behindThank you for joining us!
