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

4.0

Thank you to libro.fm and the publisher, I was able to listen to the ALC of this book. I found it very interesting to learn about Malcolm X and how his experience in prison awoke him to his calling in life. I knew about his legacy, but I really didn't know anything about his past before listening to this book. His calling to the Islamic religion was inspiring, but, I am upset about where his relationship with his brother Reginald, who led him to the religion in the first place, was left off. I would recommend this book to high school students, especially those who are interested in Black history.
