A review by cristi3
The Awakening of Malcolm X by Tiffany D. Jackson, Ilyasah Shabazz

3.0

Sometimes it's hard for me to read stories about real people, but in this case it was very entertaining and it felt like a work of fiction although it's the real life of Malcolm X. Sometimes it's very hard what they write and it's terrible to imagine Malcolm and the others in those situations in the prison. It's also great to see how he starts educating himself and starts to believe in religion. It's very clear he was a brave, very intelligent person who cared about his equals and worked for their rights.
I'm really glad that his daughter contributed on this book as she's the one who could do this in the best way and you can see how much she admires his father.
It's a very inspiring story that makes you want to fight against the injustices in society and educate yourself in every way that you can.
