That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
From a 1992 article by Sheila Rule in The Times:
“Malcolm X,” 3 hours and 21 minutes in length, takes its audiences from the rural poverty of 1920’s Nebraska to the tough streets of Roxbury in Boston and Harlem in New York, inside the strict world of the Black Muslims and to the holy land of the Middle East. The screenplay, which embodies Mr. Lee’s vision of Malcolm X, is based on an adaptation of “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” written with Alex Haley and published in 1965.
