   I'm not sure what you mean by your question.  Malcolm X was introduced to the Black Muslims while serving a prison term and became a Muslim minister upon his release in 1952. He quickly became very prominent in the movement with a following perhaps equaling that of its leader, Elijah Muhammad. In 1963, Malcolm was suspended by Elijah after a speech in which Malcolm suggested that President Kennedy's assassination was a matter of the “chickens coming home to roost.” Some of his followers included Louis Farrakhan,who became national spokesperson for Malcolm X after his death; Muhammad Ali converted to Islam, and the Ten Million Man March of 1995 is a legacy of the influence of `Malcolm X as well.
