ARTICLES RELATED TO Malcolm X - Tensions | | | |  Malcolm X - Tensions: Encyclopedia II - Malcolm X - TensionsBy the summer of 1963, tension in the Nation of Islam reached boiling point. Malcolm believed that Elijah Muhammad was jealous of his popularity (as were several senior ministers).

| | | | Malcolm X - Tensions: Encyclopedia II - Malcolm X - Name He explained the name he chose by saying,

| | | | Malcolm X - Tensions: Encyclopedia II - Malcolm X - Nation of Islam In 1952, after his release from prison, Malcolm went to meet Elijah Muhammad in Chicago. Malcolm couldn't receive his African last name "X" yet because he simply hadn't had enough insight, study, and understanding of the Muslim religion. The "X" is meant to symbolize the rejection of his "slave-name" and the absence of a proper African Muslim name. The "X" is also both a reference to the name given to the slaves by the Anglo-European slave owners, unwilling to learn their African names; and is also the brand ...
