Biography 📅 4 February 1965 📍 United States

At SNCC's invitation, Malcolm spoke in Selma as local activists faced violent resistance to Black voter registration. He then traveled to London and was refused entry into France. His visit showed that his late work included tactical engagement with grassroots civil-rights organizers, even where strategies differed. The connection placed national voting-rights organizing within his wider argument for self-defense and international scrutiny.
