| Dear Friend, |
| |
| I recently visited the home of Malcolm X in Queens, New York,
which was firebombed a week before his assassination on February 21st,
1965. |
| |
| Along with my uncle, my father,
and Martin Luther King, it was one of four assassinations of the 1960s
that devastated the soul of our nation. |
| |
| Malcolm’s death was especially tragic because it came at a moment
where the arc of his life had swung toward viewing all people as part
of the brotherhood of humanity. |
| |
| The central revelation that transformed him was a trip to Mecca
where he saw people of every race, creed and color worshiping in the
same places and praying to the same god. |
| |
| After that, he saw his life’s mission as being a truth
teller: |
| |
| “I’m speaking now from what I think, from what I have seen,
from what I have analyzed and the conclusions that I have reached. It
is not a case of being good or bad blacks and whites, it’s the case of
being good or bad human beings.” |
