00:00Destiny can take your best friend as a instrument to cause you harm, and your worst enemy to do you
00:07grief.
00:08Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X.
00:10They define a whole generation to be themselves and be bold.
00:17I'm the king of the race!
00:19It's time for you and me to fight for ourselves!
00:22There were two different worlds, but it was destiny that they would meet.
00:27Three short years that they would spend in their lives.
00:34Did your brother like being around, Bob?
00:36Love, love, love, I did too.
00:40Malcolm X was a genius.
00:43They had this student-teacher relationship.
00:47He comes back home thinking, okay, I've done this for America, I'm the champ, I'm everything, but I'm still in
00:52a segregated world.
00:53The Nation of Islam and Malcolm provide a language of black excellence and black supreme achievement.
01:01My father wanted to be great.
01:04There are things that Malcolm taught him that my father kept with him until his last day.
01:08For my father to take his wife and his babies and go to his home meant that my father trusted
01:15him 100%.
01:18That was their blood brotherhood.
01:22They're changing the way the world saw the black man.
01:26Brother's gonna work it out.
01:28Brother's gonna work it out.
01:29But there were these outside forces that prevented them from continuing this beautiful relationship.
01:36It was a cross to bear.
01:37It was a tremendous cost of being a free and loving person.
01:41They didn't want some Muslim being the heavyweight champion.
01:45Malcolm's interest and the interest of the nation diverged.
01:48And my father was right up in the middle of it.
01:50Brother needs your help, now can't you see?
01:52I believe in the brotherhood of all people.
01:54I am out of the black Muslim movement.
01:57Malcolm X and anybody else who talks about attacking Elijah Muhammad will die.
02:03Do you remember anything that Muhammad Ali regretted?
02:10That's a hell of a hell of a question.
02:13Brother's gonna work it out.
02:15Brother's gonna work it out.
02:17Brother's gonna work it out.
