What caused Malcolm X to retain bad feelings about Federal judge Thurgood Marshall?

Malcolm X had a strong animosity to the famous Federal Judge Thurgood Marshall. Malcolm X had a long memory and recalled the words of Marshall when he was the chief attorney for the NAACP. In that capacity, Marshall referred to Black Muslims as a group run by a bunch of former prison thugs and Marshall believed the Nation of Islam was financed by an Arab group. This is a paraphrase from the writings of Malcolm X.

Why should we recognize Thurgood Marshall during black history month?

For one thing, he was the first African American justice of the Supreme Court. Prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court, and among other accomplishments, he was the founder and executive director of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. In that position he argued several cases before the Supreme Court, including Brown v. Board of Education, which held that racial segregation in public schools is a violation of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. Recently I read that, long before Thurgood Marshall became a Supreme Court justice, he was chased through the streets of Dallas by either the mayor, or some other Dallas politician, wielding an axe. I think it was in Bill Mintaglio's book "Dallas 1963". If I come across the passage again, I'll make any necessary corrections to the information and cite a source.
