Whereas X marks the spot in terms of finding the nation of islam and becoming a part of it, Malcolm seems to find a second calling, one that calls for true path. After his trip to Mecca, Malcolm sees the truth in terms of unity, rather than segregation. He sees Elijah Muhammed for who he truly is and how wrong the Nation of Islam truly was.
He calls upon unity and the support of white people to an extent, even if it meant creating peace between African Americans first. It represents a second revelation for him, and his 3rd and final phase before his early death.
