Malcolm X
Malcolm X earned his name from a religious journey he took to Mecca in 1964, where he adopted the X to symbolize his lost African surname.
Malcolm X, before his trip to Mecca, believed in violence and drastic measures to obtain what he and his people desired. During his religious pilgrimage to Mecca, he saw people of all colors, shapes, and sizes worshiping Allah, their God, together. After this experience, he began to think that all people are the same, and started to believe in nonviolence and brotherhood.
