Malcolm first went to Africa in summer of 1959 He traveled to Egypt (United Arab Republic), Sudan, Nigeria and Ghana to arrange a tour for Elijah Muhammad, which occurred in December 1959 The first of Malcolm's two trips to Africa in 1964 lasted from April 13 until May 21 On May 8, following his speech at Trenchard Hall on the campus of the University of Ibadan in Nigeria, he attended a reception in the Students' Union Hall held for him by the Muslim Students' Society During this reception the students bestowed upon him the name Omowale, meaning the son returns home in the Yoruba language
Malcolm returned to New York from Africa via Paris on May 21, 1964 On July 9, he again left the US for Africa, spending a total of 18 weeks abroad On July 17, 1964, Malcolm addressed the Organization of African Unity's first ordinary assembly of heads of state and governments in Cairo as a representative of the OAAU On August 21, 1964, he made a press statement on behalf of the OAAU regarding the second African summit conference of the OAU In it, he explained how a strong and independent United States of Africa is a victory for the awakening of African Americans By the time he returned to the United States on November 24, 1964, Malcolm had established an international connection between Africans on the continent and those in the diaspora
Malcolm held to the view that African-Americans were right in defending themselves from aggressors On June 28, 1964, at the founding rally of the OAAU he said,
The time for you and me to allow ourselves to be brutalized nonviolently has passed Be nonviolent only with those who are nonviolent to you And when you can bring me a nonviolent racist, bring me a nonviolent segregationist, then I'll get nonviolent But don't teach me to be nonviolent until you teach some of those crackers to be nonviolent
In an interview with Gordon Parks in 1965, Malcolm revealed
I realized racism isn't just a black and white problem It's brought bloodbaths to about every nation on earth at one time or another Brother, remember the time that white college girl came into the restaurant — the one who wanted to help the [Black] Muslims and the whites get together — and I told her there wasn't a ghost of a chance and she went away crying? Well, I've lived to regret that incident In many parts of the African continent I saw white students helping black people Something like this kills a lot of argument I did many things as a [Black] Muslim that I'm sorry for now I was a zombie then — like all [Black] Muslims — I was hypnotized, pointed in a certain direction and told to march Well, I guess a man's entitled to make a fool of himself if he's ready to pay the cost It cost me 12 years That was a bad scene, brother The sickness and madness of those days — I'm glad to be free of them

On February 12, 1965, Malcolm visited Smethwick, near Birmingham, which had become a byword for racial division after the 1964 general election when the Conservative Party won the parliamentary seat after rumours that their candidates supporters had used the slogan If you want a nigger for your neighbour, vote Labour He visited a pub with a non-coloured policy and visited a street where the local council would buy houses and sell them to white families, to avoid black families moving in
