2471 02:37:41,619 --> 02:37:43,454 I wonder who they're working for. 2472 02:37:44,371 --> 02:37:46,873 If I was a betting man, I'd say the CIA. 2473 02:37:46,957 --> 02:37:48,166 What's your guess? 2474 02:37:48,250 --> 02:37:51,211 Today, I arrived in Arabia... 2475 02:37:51,295 --> 02:37:55,757 "I have never witnessed such sincere hospitality 2476 02:37:55,841 --> 02:37:58,093 and true brotherhood 2477 02:37:58,177 --> 02:37:59,928 as practiced here 2478 02:38:00,012 --> 02:38:03,348 in the ancient home of Abraham, Muhammad, 2479 02:38:03,432 --> 02:38:06,852 "and the great prophets of the Scriptures." 2480 02:38:13,275 --> 02:38:16,069 Today, with thousands of others 2481 02:38:16,153 --> 02:38:19,365 I proclaimed God's greatness in the sacred city of Mecca. 2482 02:38:20,699 --> 02:38:24,203 Wearing the ihram garb, I made my seven circuits around the Kaaba. 2483 02:38:24,912 --> 02:38:27,289 I drank from the well of Zamzam. 2484 02:38:27,373 --> 02:38:30,417 I prayed to Allah from Mount Arafat. 2485 02:38:30,501 --> 02:38:34,629 It was the only time in my life that I stood before the creator of all 2486 02:38:34,713 --> 02:38:36,924 and felt like a complete human being. 2487 02:38:57,528 --> 02:39:00,030 Now, you maybe shocked by these words, 2488 02:39:00,114 --> 02:39:04,159 but I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, 2489 02:39:04,243 --> 02:39:08,246 and prayed to the same God with fellow Muslims whose eyes were blue, 2490 02:39:08,330 --> 02:39:10,624 whose hair was blond, 2491 02:39:10,708 --> 02:39:12,876 and whose skin was the whitest of white. 2492 02:39:12,960 --> 02:39:16,046 And we were all brothers, truly. 2493 02:39:16,130 --> 02:39:20,634 People of all colors and races believing in one God, in one humanity. 2494 02:39:35,357 --> 02:39:37,150 Each hour here in this sacred land 2495 02:39:37,234 --> 02:39:39,402 enables me to have a greater spiritual insight 2496 02:39:39,486 --> 02:39:41,363 into what is happening in America. 2497 02:39:41,447 --> 02:39:46,117 The American Negro can never be blamed for his racial animosities. 2498 02:39:46,201 --> 02:39:50,330 He's only reacting to 400 years of oppression and discrimination. 2499 02:39:50,414 --> 02:39:54,084 But as racism leads America up the suicidal path, 2500 02:39:54,168 --> 02:39:57,921 I do believe that the younger generation will see the handwriting on the wall 2501 02:39:58,005 --> 02:40:01,383 and many of them will want to turn to the spiritual path of the truth, 2502 02:40:01,467 --> 02:40:02,967 the only way left in this world 2503 02:40:03,051 --> 02:40:06,263 to ward off the disaster that racism must surely lead to. 2504 02:40:07,055 --> 02:40:11,560 Once before, in prison, the truth came and blinded me. 2505 02:40:12,686 --> 02:40:14,354 Well, it has happened again. 2506 02:40:15,898 --> 02:40:19,109 In the past, I have made sweeping indictments of all white people, 2507 02:40:19,193 --> 02:40:21,861 and these generalizations have caused injuries 2508 02:40:21,945 --> 02:40:24,239 to some white folks who did not deserve it. 2509 02:40:25,657 --> 02:40:29,202 "Because of the spiritual rebirth which I was blessed to undergo 2510 02:40:29,286 --> 02:40:34,249 as a result of my pilgrimage to the Holy City of Mecca, 2511 02:40:36,043 --> 02:40:39,838 I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of one race. 2512 02:40:39,922 --> 02:40:41,548 I intend 2513 02:40:42,341 --> 02:40:45,385 "to be very careful not to sentence anyone" 2514 02:40:45,469 --> 02:40:47,011 be very careful not to sentence anyone 2515 02:40:47,095 --> 02:40:48,638 who has not been proven guilty. 2516 02:40:48,722 --> 02:40:51,433 I am not a racist, 2517 02:40:51,517 --> 02:40:54,978 and I do not subscribe to any of the tenets of racism. 2518 02:40:55,062 --> 02:40:57,063 In all honesty and sincerity, 2519 02:40:57,147 --> 02:41:00,150 it can be stated that I wish nothing but freedom, 2520 02:41:00,234 --> 02:41:03,653 justice and equality. 2521 02:41:03,737 --> 02:41:08,033 Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. 2522 02:41:08,867 --> 02:41:12,203 Now, my first concern, of course, is with the group to which I belong, 2523 02:41:12,287 --> 02:41:16,583 for we, more than any others, are deprived of our inalienable rights. 2524 02:41:16,667 --> 02:41:21,045 But I believe the true practice of Islam can remove the cancer of racism 2525 02:41:21,129 --> 02:41:24,758 from the hearts and the souls of all Americans. 2526 02:41:24,842 --> 02:41:27,302 And if I can die having brought any light, 2527 02:41:27,386 --> 02:41:32,182 having exposed any meaningful truth that will help destroy this disease, 2528 02:41:33,058 --> 02:41:36,353 then all the credit is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, 2529 02:41:37,521 --> 02:41:39,523 and only the mistakes have been mine. 2530 02:41:41,483 --> 02:41:43,483 Please give all my love to the children. 2531 02:41:44,361 --> 02:41:45,612 I love you dearly. 2532 02:41:46,905 --> 02:41:49,575 Sincerely, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz... 2533 02:41:50,409 --> 02:41:51,493 Malcolm X. 2534 02:42:39,708 --> 02:42:41,125 Let's begin.

When I was in Mecca, making the pilgrimage 2538 02:42:50,886 --> 02:42:53,555 the brotherhood that existed there, 2539 02:42:53,639 --> 02:42:56,432 among all people, all races, all levels of people 2540 02:42:56,516 --> 02:42:58,727 who had accepted the religion of Islam, 2541 02:43:00,354 --> 02:43:03,147 what it had done, Islam, for those people, 2542 02:43:03,231 --> 02:43:07,026 despite their, uh, complexion differences, 2543 02:43:07,110 --> 02:43:10,530 perhaps if people here in America would try 2544 02:43:10,614 --> 02:43:13,074 and practice and study the religion of Islam, 2545 02:43:13,158 --> 02:43:18,371 it might help to erase the plague of racism here. 2546 02:43:18,455 --> 02:43:23,460 I think Muslims over there look at themselves as human beings, 2547 02:43:24,252 --> 02:43:26,964 as part of the same human family. 2548 02:43:27,798 --> 02:43:30,216 Today, my friends are Black, 2549 02:43:30,300 --> 02:43:32,969 red, yellow, brown and white. 2550 02:43:33,053 --> 02:43:35,680 Malcolm, are you prepared to go to the United Nations at this point 2551 02:43:35,764 --> 02:43:38,057 and ask that charges be brought against the United States 2552 02:43:38,141 --> 02:43:39,726 for its treatment of the American Negroes? 2553 02:43:39,810 --> 02:43:41,853 Oh, yes.
