"They're going to pay for it," Malcolm declares, and goes to Los Angeles to eulogize Stokes at a funeral attended by 2,000 people. He says the police shot "innocent unarmed Black men in cold blood" and urges action. But Elijah Muhammad resists calls for an aggressive response. An all-white coroner's jury deliberates about Stokes' killing for 23 minutes and terms it "justifiable homicide." By contrast, 14 Nation of Islam members are indicted for assault in the incident and 11 are found guilty. Later this year, Malcolm confirms that Elijah Muhammad has engaged in repeated adultery and had children with at least three of his young secretaries. "I felt almost out of my mind," Malcolm says. Herbert Muhammad asks Muhammad Speaks to minimize coverage of Malcolm X.media/Gordon Parks, Malcolm X Holding Up Black Muslim Newspaper Chicago, Illinois1963.jpgplain2022-07-06T19:15:08+00:00April 1962nmGu3WDWmTtXMbjWA_1mFBMD01000ab60300009b0e00000a1e00002c1e0000711e00008f260000d23a0000ac3d0000ce3d0000043e00007d630000Gina Leonf0ac362b4453e23ee8a94b1a49fbeeafde2a0a49

The final tally: one Muslim man dead, seven others seriously wounded, fourteen arraigned on felonies, and the temple ransacked. Malcolm, at the funeral, praised LA Black organizations for protesting the attack: "Our unity shocked them and we should continue to shock the white man by working together."
