Malcolm met writer Alex Haley at the International Hotel near Kennedy Airport as their collaboration continued. The eventual Autobiography was a shaped oral-history project, not a verbatim diary: Haley interviewed and edited Malcolmโs account. Keeping this meeting distinct from their earlier 1963 conversations helps show the book taking form during Malcolmโs growing conflict with the Nation of Islam.
