A mini documentary on the friendship of Malcolm X with Muhammad Ali (1964-1965).
Contents include pictures and footage of the two giants.
This is a compilation of Malcolm X on Muhammad Ali. I have taken the videos and pictures from the Internet (mostly YouTube) and the documentary "The trials of Muhammad Ali" and made it into a micro documentary focusing on their relationship. I had the idea to compile these together on as much material that I could possibly find as this story is tragic since they couldn't continue their friendship. Both are heroes, Malcolm X as a spiritual/political hero and Ali as a sports/political hero. I always felt sad reading about the demise of their relationship which I believe could have been a great asset to the African American struggle and also Malcolm X as a guide to Ali the protégé would have been borne out of sincerity and in his best interest as opposed to the agenda of the Nation of Islam.
Things were not this way and Ali sided with the Nation of Islam over Malcolm X. He was a young man aged 22, not to be blamed. Malcolm was aged 38 at the time.
At the time of Malcolm's assassination he was 39 and Ali was 23.
Later in life Ali admits his mistake in his book published in 2004, The Soul of a butterfly:
"Turning my back on Malcolm was one of the mistakes that I regret most in my life. I wish I'd been able to tell Malcolm I was sorry, that he was right about so many things. But he was killed before I got the chance. He was a visionary ahead of us all....I might never have become a Muslim if it hadn't been for Malcolm. If I could go back and do it over again, I would never have turned my back on him."
I hope you learn about the friendship from the video which shows a caring, loving Malcolm for his younger brother Ali.
May Allah grant our beloved brother Malcolm X El Hajj Malik Al Shabazz paradise, Aameen.

If anyone finds more footage that can be incorporated, contact me and I will try including it if I have the time to re-edit the video. Thank you.

P.S just a final note, I believe the American government used elements within the Nation of Islam to assassinate Malcolm X, I couldn't include this into the video due to it being irrelevant to the main topic of the friendship of X and Ali.
