A fascinating handwritten letter penned by black civil rights activist Malcolm X after his enlightening trip to Mecca in 1964 has gone on sale for $1.25 million.
The letter, which was found in a storage locker, was printed on stationery with Arabic writing and had illustrations of historic sites. It is being sold by Californian autograph and historic letter dealers ‘Moments in Time.’
In it, Malcolm mused that if white Americans converted to Islam it may stop the rampant racism that was inflicted on African Americans in the 1960’s.
