Malcolm X autograph letter signed from Kuwait in September 1964. Malcolm X writes to Gloria Owens, ''Greetings from beautiful Kuwait. Since I've seen what a mess can be made of things by narrow-minded people, I'm still traveling, trying to broaden my scope - Bro[ther] Malcolm X''. 1964 was a tumultuous year for Malcolm X; he left the Nation of Islam (NOI), defended himself against physical assaults and possible assassination attempts by the NOI, and traveled the world to the Middle East and Africa. Earlier in the year, while making the pilgrimage to Mecca, he was heartened by Muslims of all races treating each other as equals and was hopeful of improved race relations in the United States as a result. Postcard measures 5.75'' x 4''. Very good plus condition with bold handwriting.
