In the Autobiography, he talks about how when made the hajj, he felt his heart opening to the white Muslims he encountered there, and to people everywhere

Maya Angelou does talk about that in the conversation she had with Dave Chappelle on Iconoclasts (available on iTunes). It's on my iPod, and I watch it over and over again.
