Cover art for Wake Up lyrics by Rage Against the Machine

Malcolm X was not directly murdered by the government. By the time he was assassinated he'd made several key world-leader contacts in Asia and Africa, especially in countires which were suffering from white colonialism at that time. The US government especially hated it when he would publicly draw a parallel in his speeches between the colnialism of those countries and the sruggle for black rights in the US. As well as this, he had made an enemy of the leadership of the Nation of Islam, who were corrupt and hypocritical, and since he knew of the illicit relationships of Elijah Muhammad (a person whom the NOI members were taught to believe was a divine being), he had very sensitive information about them which they couldn't afford to let out. The actual assassination was summed up by his sister, Ella, as "The government were the puppeteers, and the NOI the willing puppets".
