Remembering Civil Rights Giant Malcolm X 50 Years After His Assassination

The controversial activist, who inspired many and infuriated others, was gunned down Feb. 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights

Malcolm X remains a polarizing figure 50 years after he was assassinated.

Harlem was ready to explode.

It was just before midnight on April 26, 1957, and at least 4,000 protesters were massed outside the 28th Precinct stationhouse on Eighth Ave.

Hours earlier, 32-year-old Johnson Hinton and two friends had been walking along W. 125th St. when they spotted two cops beating another black man with nightsticks.

“You’re not in Alabama!” yelled Hinton and his pals. “This is New York!”

The officers turned their nightsticks on Hinton, a member of the Nation of Islam, delivering several crushing blows to his head and face.\

Hinton, despite suffering lacerations on his scalp and bleeding on the brain, was now being held inside the four-story, red-brick 28th Precinct police station.

The crowd was growing impatient. A race riot seemed imminent.

A ripple of excitement swept through the crush of people when a 6-foot-3 man in a black suit and spectacles showed up and strode inside the station-house. The demonstrators, many of whom were Nation of Islam members, knew exactly who he was.

Malcolm X.

The fiery head of the Nation’s new Harlem mosque, Malcolm was allowed to see Hinton. But the cops refused to return the battered man to the hospital.


Malcolm, sensing an impasse, stepped outside the stationhouse and flashed a hand signal to his Nation of Islam followers. They immediately started marching off — silent and stern — like an Army battalion having just received orders from their general.

The rest of the crowd followed.

A group of NYPD cops watched the scene in awe.

“No one man should have that much power,” one officer told Amsterdam News editor James Hicks.

Hinton was released in the morning — after the Nation paid his $2,500 bail — and taken to Harlem Hospital.

The striking show of force introduced the nation to Malcolm X.

Incendiary, influential and often polarizing, Malcolm led the black nationalist movement with a clenched fist and biting tongue.

His rejection of integration and insistence on black liberation “by any means necessary” made him a hero to large swaths of black people.

To many others, he was seen as a villain and a menace. The militant, anti-establishment rhetoric Malcolm preached sent shivers of fear down the spines of many whites and alarmed some African-Americans.

Remembering The Legend Before The Day Runs Out

He was killed by fellow Muslims led by Hon. Elijah Mohammed, the leader of The nation of Islam. His radical approach to the civil right movement and his 'outshining' his master (Hon. Elijah Mohammed) and his radical shift from the non-combatant approach the nation of Islam organization hitherto preached and maintained, created so much rift in the group. He started having a serious trouble after granting an interview immediately J.F. Kennedy was assassinated and was barred from public speaking on behalf of The nation of Islam by the most HON. Elijah Mohammed.

He is one of the most honest man I have read of in my lifetime; a true Pan-African who fought for the emancipation of the black race from the white men. I have his video acted out by Denzel Washington.

Malcolm X’s departure from the Nation of Islam was largely due to differences and tensions with then leader Elijah Muhammad over the political direction of the organization.

Their publicized rift, aggravated in December 1963, when Malcolm X described the assassination of then US President John F. Kennedy as an example of the “the chickens coming home to roost.” As a result of that statement, he was suspended from the Nation of Islam for 90 days.
