Proper noun Mecca

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecca

After staring chapters 17 and 18 and beginning to learn about Malcolm's pilgrimage to Mecca, I did just look up on google quickly what was Mecca and where it was located because although I've heard the word before, I didn't know its meaning or location. Mecca, also spelled Makkah, is a city in the Hejazi region of Saudi Arabia. It is the birthplace of Muhammad, and the pilgrimage, known as the Hajj is required by all able Muslims. I think it is interesting in the chapters where he visits Mecca how many people want to meet the "Muslim from America." it is a completely different part of the world, and for him to travel there and take the pilgrimage, was an amazing accomplishment and many people were intrigued and talking about the Muslim that came from America. Malcolm X received many honors, dinners, and parties thrown in his name and a lot of that commotion hadn't happened there since Dr. W E Debois had been there. I think it is interesting and eye opening all of the different religions, cultures,  languages, countries, and different experiences the autobiography of Malcolm X opened me up to and I enjoyed it very much.
