Biography 📅 15 June 1964 📍 United States

Malcolm gave testimony in Queens County Civil Court as the Nation of Islam sought possession of his family’s home. The case unfolded over June 15 and 16 amid threats against him; a judge reserved decision. The surviving court archive and Columbia’s footage description make the proceeding visible as a struggle over housing and institutional power, not merely a private dispute.
