Malcolm X is heard in archival footage suggesting that the Nation of Islam (NOI) received financial support from a "rich man in Texas," identified as H.L. Hunt. Hunt, a supporter of the KKK, allegedly funded the NOI because their goal of racial separation aligned with his white supremacist ideology. The rift between Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad began when Malcolm described the JFK assassination as "chickens coming home to roost," a statement that terrified Muhammad due to his ties to Hunt.
