I saw a film recently of Malcolm X, when he did a lecture at the Oxford Union in i think about 1963.

It fair bought a tears to my eye, when he talked about Shakespeare and the struggle of man, using the analogy well.

What brought about his visit and the invite from the OU to attend?

British MPS

Motoring

Was this the same Malcom X who was hung in the West Indies? Recalling an episode the British government put a stay of execution but the government there overuled it and he was carried out screaming to the gallows. Or was this someone else?

To my knowledge, there was only ever one Malcolm X, who was a radical civil rights leader & campaigner back in the early sixties. I think he was shot in 1965 in the USA.

Sorry you are right Malcolm X was a human rights campaigner and was shot dead. I cannot remember the actual person I was referring to only that it was a christian name followed by an 'X'.... may have been Michael X.
