Malcolm X autograph letter twice-signed in April 1964 from Mecca, Saudi Arabia, where Malcolm X visited after his departure from the Nation of Islam (NOI). He writes to Gloria Owens, ''Greetings from Arabia, where I have just completed my sacred Pilgrimage to the Holy City of Mecca. el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz (Malcolm X)''. Gloria Owens was the sister of Maceo X Owens, the secretary of MTI #7 (Muhammad's Temples of Islam) in New York City, where Malcolm X was a minister alongside Louis Farrakhan. Maceo was likely the individual who told Malcolm X that he was instructed to plant a bomb inside Malcolm's car (and didn't do it); that individual has only been identified as the secretary of mosque #7. Postcard measures 5.75'' x 4''. Very good plus condition.
