practiced here... 2320 02:37:49,043 --> 02:37:52,297 ...in the ancient home of Abraham, Mohammed... 2321 02:37:52,839 --> 02:37:56,050 ...and the great prophets of the Scriptures." 2322 02:38:02,307 --> 02:38:04,893 Today, with thousands of others... 2323 02:38:05,059 --> 02:38:08,646 ...I proclaimed God's greatness in the sacred city of Mecca. 2324 02:38:09,731 --> 02:38:13,151 In the ihram garb, I made my seven circuits around the Kaaba. 2325 02:38:13,735 --> 02:38:16,070 I drank from the well of Zem Zem. 2326 02:38:16,488 --> 02:38:19,240 I prayed to Allah from Mount Arafat. 2327 02:38:19,574 --> 02:38:23,453 It was the only time in my life that I stood before the creator of all... 2328 02:38:23,661 --> 02:38:26,164 ...and felt like a complete human being. 2329 02:38:46,351 --> 02:38:48,937 Now, you may be shocked by these words... 2330 02:38:49,103 --> 02:38:52,982 ...but I've eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass... 2331 02:38:53,191 --> 02:38:57,195 ...and prayed to the same God with Muslims whose eyes were blue... 2332 02:38:57,403 --> 02:39:01,658 ...whose hair was blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. 2333 02:39:01,866 --> 02:39:03,618 And we were all brothers... 2334 02:39:03,785 --> 02:39:04,827 ...truly. 2335 02:39:05,036 --> 02:39:09,624 People of all colors and races believing in one God, in one humanity. 2336 02:39:24,305 --> 02:39:26,516 Each hour in this sacred land gives me... 2337 02:39:26,724 --> 02:39:30,311 ...greater spiritual insight into what is happening in America. 2338 02:39:30,728 --> 02:39:35,024 The American Negro can never be blamed for his racial animosities. 2339 02:39:35,233 --> 02:39:39,195 He's only reacting to 400 years of oppression and discrimination. 2340 02:39:39,404 --> 02:39:42,865 But as racism leads America up the suicidal path... 2341 02:39:43,074 --> 02:39:46,703 ...I believe the younger generation will see the writing on the wall... 2342 02:39:46,911 --> 02:39:50,331 ...and many will want to turn to the spiritual path of truth... 2343 02:39:50,498 --> 02:39:53,251 ...the only way left to ward off the disaster... 2344 02:39:53,459 --> 02:39:55,420 ...that racism must surely lead to. 2345 02:39:56,337 --> 02:40:00,508 Once before, in prison, the truth came and blinded me. 2346 02:40:01,593 --> 02:40:03,303 Well, it has happened again. 2347 02:40:04,345 --> 02:40:07,849 In the past, I've made sweeping indictments of all white people. 2348 02:40:08,099 --> 02:40:10,727 And these generalizations have caused injuries... 2349 02:40:10,935 --> 02:40:13,438 ...to some white folks who didn't deserve them. 2350 02:40:14,522 --> 02:40:18,526 "Because of the spiritual rebirth which I was blessed to undergo... 2351 02:40:18,735 --> 02:40:20,903 ...as a result of my pilgrimage... 2352 02:40:21,112 --> 02:40:23,197 ...to the holy city of Mecca... 2353 02:40:24,991 --> 02:40:28,745 ...I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of one race. 2354 02:40:29,037 --> 02:40:30,455 I intend... 2355 02:40:31,372 --> 02:40:33,583 ...to be very careful not to.... 2356 02:40:33,791 --> 02:40:37,587 --careful not to sentence anyone who has not been proven guilty. 2357 02:40:38,212 --> 02:40:40,256 I am not a racist... 2358 02:40:40,465 --> 02:40:43,760 ...and I do not subscribe to any of the tenets of racism. 2359 02:40:43,968 --> 02:40:45,887 In all honesty and sincerity... 2360 02:40:46,054 --> 02:40:50,183 ...it can be stated that I wish nothing but freedom, justice... 2361 02:40:50,391 --> 02:40:52,060 ...and equality... 2362 02:40:52,685 --> 02:40:57,398 ...life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. 2363 02:40:57,815 --> 02:41:01,069 My first concern is with the group to which I belong... 2364 02:41:01,235 --> 02:41:05,406 ...for we, more than others, are deprived of our inalienable rights. 2365 02:41:05,573 --> 02:41:07,575 But the true practice of Islam... 2366 02:41:07,784 --> 02:41:09,786 ...can remove the cancer of racism... 2367 02:41:09,994 --> 02:41:13,623 ...from the hearts and the souls of all Americans. 2368 02:41:13,831 --> 02:41:16,125 If I can die having brought any light... 2369 02:41:16,334 --> 02:41:21,255 ...having exposed any truth that will help destroy this disease... 2370 02:41:22,006 --> 02:41:25,927 ...then all the credit is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. 2371 02:41:26,427 --> 02:41:28,846 And only the mistakes have been mine. 2372 02:41:30,431 --> 02:41:32,767 Please give all my love to the children. 2373 02:41:33,267 --> 02:41:34,852 I love you dearly. 2374 02:41:35,770 --> 02:41:39,023 Sincerely, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz... 2375 02:41:39,357 --> 02:41:41,025 ...Malcolm X. 2376 02:42:28,823 --> 02:42:29,907 Let's begin. 2377 02:42:30,116 --> 02:42:34,495 Malcolm, you said on your trip abroad you sensed a feeling of great brotherhood. 2378 02:42:34,662 --> 02:42:38,916 Uh, yes, when I was in Mecca making the pilgrimage... 2379 02:42:39,834 --> 02:42:44,046 ...the brotherhood that existed there among all people, all races... 2380 02:42:44,255 --> 02:42:48,301 ...all levels of people who had accepted the religion of Islam... 2381 02:42:49,260 --> 02:42:53,848 ...what it had done for those people, despite... 2382 02:42:54,056 --> 02:42:56,017 ...their complexion differences.... 2383 02:42:56,225 --> 02:42:59,479 Perhaps if people here in America would try... 2384 02:42:59,687 --> 02:43:03,274 ...and practice and study the religion of Islam, it might help... 2385 02:43:03,483 --> 02:43:07,320 ...to erase the plague of racism here. 2386 02:43:07,779 --> 02:43:11,032 I think Muslims over there look at themselves as... 2387 02:43:11,199 --> 02:43:16,162 ...human beings, as part of the same human family. 2388 02:43:16,621 --> 02:43:19,040 Today my friends are black... 2389 02:43:19,332 --> 02:43:21,709 ...red, yellow, brown and white. 2390 02:43:21,918 --> 02:43:26,839 Are you prepared to ask the UN to bring charges against the U.S... 2391 02:43:27,048 --> 02:43:28,674 ...for its treatment of Negroes? 2392 02:43:28,883 --> 02:43:30,843 Oh, yes.
