Malcolm X is starting to realize what he's all about. He is starting to find his new philosophy in life through his Islamic religion. This is the creation of the spot he is marking. Thanks to his family’s encouragement and his newfound love of reading, Malcolm is quickly becoming more involved with his religion mentally, physically, and emotionally. This X is showing a new point in his life where he has given up all his bad morals and viewpoints that he had during the time he was a hustler and peddler in Harlem and Roxbury.
This X also represented a new life in a literal sense since he was willing to give up his name Little in exchange for Little. The reason why was because he believed Little was only giving the white man more power since that is the name that was given to his descendents when they entered America as slaves. X is marking an important part in Malcolm’s life in which he is able to open his eyes and broaden his horizons thanks to his newfound religion.
