Biography 📅 1 May 1955 📍 United States

Malcolm held a meeting in Lansing, Michigan, extending his organizing into the community where his family had faced restrictive covenants and violence. His return as a speaker illustrates how the ministry linked personal biography with a wider effort to build Black institutions and self-reliance. The event is documented in FBI surveillance records, which must be read as state monitoring rather than an independent account of the meeting.
