After he left the Nation of Islam Malcolm X started admiring Dr. King. I think he realized his extremist rhetoric wasn't going to accomplish anything.
-The only time they ever met was for one minute, and it was Malcolm who initiated the friendly exchange...

Lol read about Malcolm's entire life progression. He was doing the NOI's bidding but he never personally felt the enmity to MLK and even regretted it later on. When he cut ties with the NOI and founded his own organization before his death his ideas fell much closer in line with MLK's. The idea MLK is some pandering sellout is a serious misreading on his life and work. Even his opponents have tried to rehabilitate his image to suit their interest. In reality, at the time of his death, MLK was still very much considered a "radical" in his political opinion as far as mainstream American politics was concerned.
