challenging dark funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.25

Aside from the early 1900s slang, I would consider this a contemporary autobiography. Everything said in this book 57 years ago could have been said by someone yesterday. You don't have to look real hard to see things really have not changed.

I think this should be a must-read for Americans. You’ll unlearn what you’ve been incorrectly taught about Malcolm X in school.
