Which of the Nation of Islam’s beliefs did Malcolm X reject later in life?

Answer
A
All people should be free to worship as they please.
B
The separation of the races was the only way to achieve a free society.
C
Islam was a religion of oppression.

Explanation

After leaving the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X traveled to Mecca and adopted a broader understanding of Islam. He came to believe that people of different races could worship together and live as equals, rejecting the Nation of Islam’s teaching that racial separation was the only path to freedom. So the correct choice is “The separation of the races was the only way to achieve a free society.”
