The Ballot or the Bullet was intended to distance Malcolm X from the Nation of Islam, and one of his main goals was to connect with moderate civil rights leaders. Malcolm, however, noted his continued support of Black nationalism and self-defense, and from this, we can infer that he hadn't made a complete break with his past.
