“Every one of the thousands at the airport, about to leave for Jeddah, was dressed this way. You could be a king or a peasant and no one would know.

Once thus dressed, we all had begun intermittently calling out ‘Labbayka Allahumma Labbayka!’ (Here I come, O Lord!) Packed in the plane were white, black, brown, red, and yellow people, blue eyes and blond hair, and my kinky red hair—all together, brothers! All honoring the same God, all in turn giving equal honor to each other…” Brother Malcolm X on his pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj)
