Malcolm X announced his split from the Nation of Islam on March 8, 1964. He made this decision after a pilgrimage to Mecca, where he witnessed a more inclusive form of Islam and concluded that the racial beliefs of the Nation of Islam were misguided. Malcolm X's split marked a significant turning point in his life and philosophy.
Talmadge Hayer, now known as Thomas Hagan, admitted to gunning down the civil rights leader Malcolm X, out of anger over Malcolm X's split with the leadership of the Nation of Islam. Malcolm X had spoken out against its leader, Elijah Muhammad, which Hayer at the time felt was slanderous.
well Malcolm x lived in manhatten New York when he was 35 years old.
The split between Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad was caused by Malcolm discovering Elijah's infidelities that was revealed to him by Elijah's son Warith (Wallace). Warith told Malcolm that his father impregnated many women who were secretaries for the Nation of Islam and were keeping them in hiding. When Malcolm found out this was true he broke free from the NOI and started his own movement, Muslim Mosque,Inc.

The Nation of Islam was a group in which Malcolm little joined. This groups members rejected their slave surnames (little) and replaced it with a 'X'. Therefore Malcolm X. Hope this helps
