witnessed such sincere hospitality... 2307 02:37:50,077 --> 02:37:52,201 ...and true brotherhood... 2308 02:37:52,410 --> 02:37:54,034 ...as practiced here... 2309 02:37:54,243 --> 02:37:57,493 ...in the ancient home of Abraham, Mohammed... 2310 02:37:58,035 --> 02:38:01,242 "...and the great prophets of the Scriptures." 2311 02:38:07,493 --> 02:38:10,075 Today, with thousands of others... 2312 02:38:10,242 --> 02:38:13,824 ...I proclaimed God's greatness in the sacred city of Mecca. 2313 02:38:14,909 --> 02:38:18,324 In the ihram garb, I made my seven circuits around the Kaaba. 2314 02:38:18,909 --> 02:38:21,240 I drank from the well of Zem Zem. 2315 02:38:21,659 --> 02:38:24,407 I prayed to Allah from Mount Arafat. 2316 02:38:24,741 --> 02:38:28,615 It was the only time in my life that I stood before the creator of all... 2317 02:38:28,824 --> 02:38:31,323 ...and felt like a complete human being. 2318 02:38:51,490 --> 02:38:54,072 Now, you may be shocked by these words... 2319 02:38:54,239 --> 02:38:58,113 ...but I've eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass... 2320 02:38:58,323 --> 02:39:02,321 ...and prayed to the same God with Muslims whose eyes were blue... 2321 02:39:02,530 --> 02:39:06,779 ...whose hair was blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. 2322 02:39:06,988 --> 02:39:08,737 And we were all brothers... 2323 02:39:08,905 --> 02:39:09,945 ...truly. 2324 02:39:10,155 --> 02:39:14,737 People of all colors and races believing in one God, in one humanity. 2325 02:39:29,403 --> 02:39:31,611 Each hour in this sacred land gives me... 2326 02:39:31,820 --> 02:39:35,402 ...greater spiritual insight into what is happening in America. 2327 02:39:35,819 --> 02:39:40,110 The American Negro can never be blamed for his racial animosities. 2328 02:39:40,320 --> 02:39:44,276 He's only reacting to 400 years of oppression and discrimination. 2329 02:39:44,486 --> 02:39:47,942 But as racism leads America up the suicidal path... 2330 02:39:48,152 --> 02:39:51,776 ...I believe the younger generation will see the writing on the wall... 2331 02:39:51,985 --> 02:39:55,401 ...and many will want to turn to the spiritual path of truth... 2332 02:39:55,568 --> 02:39:58,317 ...the only way left to ward off the disaster... 2333 02:39:58,526 --> 02:40:00,484 ...that racism must surely lead to. 2334 02:40:01,401 --> 02:40:05,567 Once before, in prison, the truth came and blinded me. 2335 02:40:06,651 --> 02:40:08,359 Well, it has happened again. 2336 02:40:09,401 --> 02:40:12,900 In the past, I've made sweeping indictments of all white people. 2337 02:40:13,151 --> 02:40:15,775 And these generalizations have caused injuries... 2338 02:40:15,984 --> 02:40:18,483 ...to some white folks who didn't deserve them. 2339 02:40:19,567 --> 02:40:23,565 "Because of the spiritual rebirth which I was blessed to undergo..." 2340 02:40:23,775 --> 02:40:25,940 ...as a result of my pilgrimage... 2341 02:40:26,150 --> 02:40:28,231 ...to the holy city of Mecca... 2342 02:40:30,025 --> 02:40:33,773 ...I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of one race. 2343 02:40:34,066 --> 02:40:35,482 I intend... 2344 02:40:36,399 --> 02:40:38,606 ...to be very careful not to... 2345 02:40:38,815 --> 02:40:42,606 careful not to sentence anyone who has not been proven guilty. 2346 02:40:43,231 --> 02:40:45,272 I am not a racist... 2347 02:40:45,482 --> 02:40:48,772 ...and I do not subscribe to any of the tenets of racism. 2348 02:40:48,981 --> 02:40:50,897 In all honesty and sincerity... 2349 02:40:51,065 --> 02:40:55,189 ...it can be stated that I wish nothing but freedom, justice... 2350 02:40:55,397 --> 02:40:57,064 ...and equality... 2351 02:40:57,689 --> 02:41:02,396 ...life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. 2352 02:41:02,813 --> 02:41:06,063 My first concern is with the group to which I belong... 2353 02:41:06,230 --> 02:41:10,395 ...for we, more than others, are deprived of our inalienable rights. 2354 02:41:10,563 --> 02:41:12,562 But the true practice of Islam... 2355 02:41:12,772 --> 02:41:14,771 ...can remove the cancer of racism... 2356 02:41:14,979 --> 02:41:18,604 ...from the hearts and the souls of all Americans. 2357 02:41:18,812 --> 02:41:21,103 If I can die having brought any light... 2358 02:41:21,313 --> 02:41:26,227 ...having exposed any truth that will help destroy this disease... 2359 02:41:26,979 --> 02:41:30,894 ...then all the credit is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. 2360 02:41:31,395 --> 02:41:33,810 And only the mistakes have been mine. 2361 02:41:35,395 --> 02:41:37,727 Please give all my love to the children. 2362 02:41:38,228 --> 02:41:39,810 I love you dearly. 2363 02:41:40,728 --> 02:41:43,976 Sincerely, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz... 2364 02:41:44,311 --> 02:41:45,976 ...Malcolm X. 2365 02:42:33,724 --> 02:42:34,806 Let's begin. 2366 02:42:35,016 --> 02:42:39,389 Malcolm, you said on your trip abroad you sensed a feeling of great brotherhood. 2367 02:42:39,557 --> 02:42:43,805 Uh, yes, when I was in Mecca making the pilgrimage... 2368 02:42:44,724 --> 02:42:48,930 ...the brotherhood that existed there among all people, all races... 2369 02:42:49,140 --> 02:42:53,180 ...all levels of people who had accepted the religion of Islam... 2370 02:42:54,139 --> 02:42:58,722 ...what it had done for those people, despite... 2371 02:42:58,930 --> 02:43:00,888 ...their complexion differences... 2372 02:43:01,097 --> 02:43:04,347 Perhaps if people here in America would try... 2373 02:43:04,555 --> 02:43:08,137 ...and practice and study the religion of Islam, it might help... 2374 02:43:08,347 --> 02:43:12,179 ...to erase the plague of racism here. 2375 02:43:12,639 --> 02:43:15,887 I think Muslims over there look at themselves as... 2376 02:43:16,055 --> 02:43:21,012 ...human beings, as part of the same human family. 2377 02:43:21,471 --> 02:43:23,887 Today my friends are black... 2378 02:43:24,179
