How did Malcolm X's political stance evolve in the final years of his life?

After leaving the Nation of Islam in late 1963, Malcolm X underwent a significant political transformation during the last year of his life. He began building bridges with mainstream civil rights leaders, notably appearing alongside Martin Luther King Jr. in the US Senate—their first and only meeting. Malcolm developed a broader political rapprochement with various civil rights leaders, moving beyond his earlier separatist stance. This evolution reflected his transition from a strictly Black nationalist perspective to a more inclusive human rights framework, allowing him to connect the American civil rights struggle with global anti-colonial movements.
