“TheNation of Islam. But it could have
also been some white racist group be
hind it but I think it takes more organi
zation to puU something like this off.
The Nation would have the dedicated
pet^le to do it, too.”- Brendan Smith
"Definitely the CIA. What I’ve studied
points to the CIA because of
(Malcolm’s) international works and
cMitacts. And the embarra5»nent he
caused the U.S. in Africa.”- Jimmy
Hitchcock
“The Nation of Islam in ctmjunction
with the govemmoit. The fact that he
was in bad standing with the Nation of
Islam was just like giving the govern
ment the green light to kill him. ” -
Rhonda Manns
" It seems as if the Cl A should be given
the blame for most of it. Diff»ent
sources I’ve read suggest that the black
Muslims were eitha assisted or trained
by them. ” - Roosevelt Grant
" I think it was a combination of the
Federal Government and the Nation of
Islam. Because he was so instnunental
in arousing theconsc iousness ofblacks,
and he made the national govemm^t
nervous.” - Katina Hompries
