struggle is known and respected worldwide. 2264 02:37:37,987 --> 02:37:41,781 Coincidentally, two white men follow me around wherever I go. 2265 02:37:42,158 --> 02:37:44,075 I wonder who they're working for? 2266 02:37:44,577 --> 02:37:47,036 If I was a betting man, I'd say the CIA. 2267 02:37:47,246 --> 02:37:48,413 What's your guess? 2268 02:37:49,415 --> 02:37:51,458 Today I arrived in Arabia. 2269 02:37:52,084 --> 02:37:56,004 I have never witnessed such sincere hospitality... 2270 02:37:56,172 --> 02:37:58,298 and true brotherhood... 2271 02:37:58,507 --> 02:38:00,133 as practiced here... 2272 02:38:00,342 --> 02:38:03,595 in the ancient home of Abraham, Mohammed... 2273 02:38:04,138 --> 02:38:07,348 and the great prophets of the scriptures. 2274 02:38:13,606 --> 02:38:16,191 Today, with thousands of others... 2275 02:38:16,358 --> 02:38:19,944 I proclaimed God's greatness in the sacred city of Mecca. 2276 02:38:21,030 --> 02:38:24,449 In the ihram garb, I made my seven circuits around the Kaaba. 2277 02:38:25,034 --> 02:38:27,368 I drank from the well of Zem Zem. 2278 02:38:27,787 --> 02:38:30,538 I prayed to Allah from Mount Arafat. 2279 02:38:30,873 --> 02:38:34,751 It was the only time in my life that I stood before the creator of all... 2280 02:38:34,960 --> 02:38:37,462 and felt like a complete human being. 2281 02:38:57,650 --> 02:39:00,235 Now, you may be shocked by these words... 2282 02:39:00,402 --> 02:39:04,280 but I've eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass... 2283 02:39:04,490 --> 02:39:08,493 and prayed to the same God with Muslims whose eyes were blue... 2284 02:39:08,702 --> 02:39:12,956 whose hair was blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. 2285 02:39:13,165 --> 02:39:14,916 And we were all brothers... 2286 02:39:15,084 --> 02:39:16,125 truly. 2287 02:39:16,335 --> 02:39:20,922 People of all colors and races believing in one God, in one humanity. 2288 02:39:35,604 --> 02:39:37,814 Each hour in this sacred land gives me... 2289 02:39:38,023 --> 02:39:41,609 greater spiritual insight into what is happening in America. 2290 02:39:42,027 --> 02:39:46,322 The American Negro can never be blamed for his racial animosities. 2291 02:39:46,532 --> 02:39:50,493 He's only reacting to 400 years of oppression and discrimination. 2292 02:39:50,703 --> 02:39:54,163 But as racism leads America up the suicidal path... 2293 02:39:54,373 --> 02:39:58,001 I believe the younger generation will see the writing on the wall... 2294 02:39:58,210 --> 02:40:01,629 and many will want to turn to the spiritual path of truth... 2295 02:40:01,797 --> 02:40:04,549 the only way left to ward off the disaster... 2296 02:40:04,758 --> 02:40:06,718 that racism must surely lead to. 2297 02:40:07,636 --> 02:40:11,806 Once before, in prison, the truth came and blinded me. 2298 02:40:12,892 --> 02:40:14,601 Well, it has happened again. 2299 02:40:15,644 --> 02:40:19,147 In the past, I've made sweeping indictments of all white people. 2300 02:40:19,398 --> 02:40:22,025 And these generalizations have caused injuries... 2301 02:40:22,234 --> 02:40:24,736 to some white folks who didn't deserve them. 2302 02:40:25,821 --> 02:40:29,824 Because of the spiritual rebirth which I was blessed to undergo... 2303 02:40:30,034 --> 02:40:32,201 as a result of my pilgrimage... 2304 02:40:32,411 --> 02:40:34,495 to the holy city of Mecca... 2305 02:40:36,290 --> 02:40:40,043 I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of one race. 2306 02:40:40,336 --> 02:40:41,753 I intend... 2307 02:40:42,671 --> 02:40:44,881 to be very careful not to... 2308 02:40:45,090 --> 02:40:48,885 careful not to sentence anyone who has not been proven guilty. 2309 02:40:49,511 --> 02:40:51,554 I am not a racist... 2310 02:40:51,764 --> 02:40:55,058 and I do not subscribe to any of the tenets of racism. 2311 02:40:55,267 --> 02:40:57,185 In all honesty and sincerity... 2312 02:40:57,353 --> 02:41:01,481 it can be stated that I wish nothing but freedom, justice... 2313 02:41:01,690 --> 02:41:03,358 and equality... 2314 02:41:03,984 --> 02:41:08,696 life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. 2315 02:41:09,114 --> 02:41:12,367 My first concern is with the group to which I belong... 2316 02:41:12,534 --> 02:41:16,704 for we, more than others, are deprived of our inalienable rights. 2317 02:41:16,872 --> 02:41:18,873 But the true practice of Islam... 2318 02:41:19,083 --> 02:41:21,084 can remove the cancer of racism... 2319 02:41:21,293 --> 02:41:24,921 from the hearts and the souls of all Americans. 2320 02:41:25,130 --> 02:41:27,423 If I can die having brought any light... 2321 02:41:27,633 --> 02:41:32,553 having exposed any truth that will help destroy this disease... 2322 02:41:33,305 --> 02:41:37,225 then all the credit is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. 2323 02:41:37,726 --> 02:41:40,144 And only the mistakes have been mine. 2324 02:41:41,730 --> 02:41:44,065 Please give all my love to the children. 2325 02:41:44,566 --> 02:41:46,150 I love you dearly. 2326 02:41:47,069 --> 02:41:50,321 Sincerely, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz... 2327 02:41:50,656 --> 02:41:52,323 Malcolm X. 2328 02:42:40,122 --> 02:42:41,205 Let's begin. 2329 02:42:41,415 --> 02:42:45,793 Malcolm, you said on your trip abroad you sensed a feeling of great brotherhood. 2330 02:42:45,961 --> 02:42:50,214 Yes, when I was in Mecca making the pilgrimage... 2331 02:42:51,133 --> 02:42:55,344 the brotherhood that existed there among all people, all races... 2332 02:42:55,554 --> 02:42:59,599 all levels of people who had accepted the religion of Islam... 2333 02:43:00,559 --> 02:43:05,146 what it had done for those people, despite... 2334 02:43:05,355 --> 02:43:07,315 their complexion differences... 2335 02:43:07,524 --> 02:43:10,777 Perhaps if people here in America would try... 2336 02:43:10,986 --> 02:43:14,572 and practice and study the religion of Islam, it might help... 2337 02:43:14,782 --> 02:43:18,618 to erase the plague of racism here. 2338 02:43:19,078 --> 02:43:22,330 I think Muslims over there look at themselves as... 2339 02:43:22,498 --> 02:43:27,460 human beings, as part of the same human family. 2340 02:43:27,920 --> 02:43:30,338 Today my friends are black... 2341 02:43:30,631 --> 02:43:33,007 red, yellow, brown and white. 2342 02:43:33,217 -->
