Was Malcolm X attempting to become less violent before his death?
Malcolm X- Non Violent
Towards the end of his life Malcolm X became much less violent in his approach to the way he preached his ideas and thoughts. This change in mind and attitude most likely came from his departure from the NOI (Nation of Islam) and from the period of his life travelling around North Africa and the Middle East.
During this time period Malcolm X took the time to travel to Mecca for the journey of the Hajj. This was an extremely spiritual and a life changing event for Malcolm X. Not only was this a spiritual journey he also took on board the politics of different countries and how he could apply them back in America. During his time in Mecca he converted his religion to "Traditional Islam" and also changed his name for the last time to, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.
After returning from his pilgrimage to Mecca, he was more peaceful and optimistic about the future of Civil Rights in America and willing to make a change for America's racial problems. He began to meet with Martin Luther King Jr. and discussing about the future of America.
Malcolm was getting close to altering the course of the Civil Rights Movement until he was disastrously assassinated, on the evening of February 21, 1965.
