this was a much more uplifting book than I thought it would be. This however, is a good book that shows the developoment of one of the most influential figures of the 20th century and the Civil rights movement.
This makes a lot of things come into focus and it also opens up my eyes to part of reality of American histroy I did not know of before or knew but did not internalize and truly understand likek I thought I would.
The dictation of X's life and how he formed his ideas are accessibile, easy to understand, and often very witty and isightful. X even is very quick to talk about all the times when he was very wrong in his own eyes but not try to say his mistakes of the past didn't exist.
This is one of the truly fantastic books and because of it's importance to history, this is a must-read for a consciencious American or even a world citizen.

I love Malcom X book. I haven’t read it since I was a girl. I have a paperback copy, but I had to get the Centennial Edition when I saw this beautiful black cover. Minus one star due to my book coming with the back sleeve being ripped. That’s poor handling. I saw other reviews that stated this hello to them as well. I’m very disappointed about that.
I Love Malcom X Book! Hard Copy is Amazing!
