			That's why many of us who converted in
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			the nineties,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			we embrace Islam because of Malcolm.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Because through Malcolm we saw
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			a remedy
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			to the catastrophic
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			endemic
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			problem of race relations in America.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			And Malcolm said,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			go to Islam.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			Just go there.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			Hit Islam.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			Hit go, hit Islam. So we found the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			value. That's why many of us from the
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			early nineties, you find us actually we're in
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			interracial marriages.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			Because we were impacted
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			by Malcolm's thinking.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			Rahimullah.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			We found value in Islam. Those of us
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			who came from violent
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			street experiences,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			we found peace.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			As one brother told me, I went from
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			selling crack
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			to sitting in a university classroom
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			because of Islam. My own mother my own
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			mother who said to
