The POD is simple: Malcolm doesn't come into contact with Elijah Muhammad and doesn't join the NOI. Instead, he meets a member of the Baha'i faith and is attracted by the religion's teachings of racial and religious equality, especially after having been discouraged from continuing his schooling due to racism from his white teachers. He joins the Faith and becomes an ardent, effective spokesman for it in America, especially among blacks. How does this affect the Civil Rights movement, as Malcolm X skips the extremist phase of his career with the NOI and never becomes a black nationalist due to his Baha'i beliefs? Would the Baha'i faith also grow faster in this TL as well, especially among blacks fed up with racism among so many white Christian congregations?
