"His ultimate belief was now in world brotherhood and human justice. But because the white press was more interested in the "old" Malcolm, they continued blaming him for the outburst of violence in Harlem during the "long, hot summer" of 1964. Malcolm now concentrated on a struggle for human rights: "We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the right of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day,
which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary."41 He had undergone many changes, and many white Americans were afraid of his call for an internationalization of the struggle, which he described as a "world problem". He wanted to cooperate with the African people, and often spoke
out against the US government and its activities in the Congo and Vietnam. "Malcolm became Public Enemy No.1 when he chose the road of national and international struggle, the road of anti-colonialism and anti-capitalism."

"Malcolm, who had always suffered because of his red hair, was one of the few who married a woman who had a darker complexion than he had, because he regarded blackness as and adorable and beautiful feature. The couple had six daughters, of whom two were born after Malcolm's death."
