El Hajj Malik chronicles Malcolm's life by sticking closely to the events in Alex Haley's The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Malcolm X's speeches. Through the use of poetry, chants, music, dancing and dramatic narration, El Hajj Malik moves from his prenatal roots in Omaha, Nebraska, through his days as a hoodlum, a prisoner, a convert to Islam, and a pilgrim to Mecca. It was his hajj that transformed his separatist philosophy into a Pan-African vision.
