On This Day In 1964, Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam.
He planned to create a Black Nationalist Party that would work with Civil Rights leaders and organizations in order to "form social action against the oppressors."
Malcolm X said he departed from the movement because it was inhibited and prevented him from participating in Civil Rights initiatives and movements.
“I am prepared to cooperate in local civil rights actions in the South and elsewhere and shall do so because every campaign for specific objectives can only heighten the political consciousness of the Negroes and intensify their identification against white society.”
