„Riporter: „Jól értettük? Ön már nem hiszi azt, hogy minden fehér ember gonosz?”Malcolm X: „Jól. Mekkai utam felnyitotta a szememet. Most már nem vagyok híve a fajok közti gyűlöletnek. Gondolkodásom annyira megváltozott, hogy már hiszek benne: a fehérek is emberek, ha ezt a négerekkel szemben tanusított humánus magatartásukkal bizonyítják.””

Eredeti: People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is to walk on earth.
