Proposal for Malcolm X

I am interested in writing about the way Malcolm changed so quickly from views he had held for so long after his experiences in Mecca because I want to discover how Malcolm was able to so quickly throw away 12 years of his life under Elijah Muhammad where he was believing and convincing others of certain things and suddenly believe a whole new set of things that were often contradictory to the beliefs he held before and were at least incredibly different. This is important because looking at why Malcolm was able to change so quickly and decisively may give us better insight into how we look at the effects of change in the world around us as well as in ourselves compared to how Malcolm viewed these same topics. One way to look at this is that Malcolm, perhaps, viewed his religion as a way to change his views to contrast previous views quickly without looking back and, instead, focusing on challenges ahead.
