Malcolm X is the most interesting
person to think about in this journey
2
00:00:04.363 --> 00:00:09.215
because he was a person who
believed in black separation,
3
00:00:09.248 --> 00:00:13.106
had experienced some of the harshest
forms of racism in his life.
4
00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:15.057
When he went to Mecca,
5
00:00:15.082 --> 00:00:20.660
he saw within his own faith his
Islamic faith people of all colors
6
00:00:20.685 --> 00:00:23.755
coming together.
And all at once in that moment he
7
00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:29.297
realized it really wasn't the color
or the race or ethnicity of a person
8
00:00:29.322 --> 00:00:32.988
that made them who they are,
that we all share this shared humanity.
9
00:00:33.013 --> 00:00:36.770
And it this outward forces
that have been imposed upon us
10
00:00:36.795 --> 00:00:39.751
around racism or sexism or whatever
11
00:00:39.747 --> 00:00:44.159
that shapes. But beneath all
of that is a human being.
12
00:00:44.184 --> 00:00:48.248
Now we're all born human beings and then
we get shaped by all these realities.
13
00:00:48.273 --> 00:00:50.667
And for Malcolm X that
was a huge change.
14
00:00:50.692 --> 00:00:53.938
In fact, many of his followers or disciples
15
00:00:53.963 --> 00:00:57.459
didn't know what to do about that
initially because it was such a change.
