The Awakening of Malcolm X by Tiffany D. Jackson, Ilyasah Shabazz
5.0
"Something occurs to me that I've always known but haven't fully processed: I'll never just be a man, even outside these walls. I will always be a Black man. My desire for equality is a burden and an insult in white eyes. So they lock us up, mute our voices."
Detroit Red was a smooth talking, peacock in love with the wrong woman. That misguided affection landed him in prison. Charlestown--where guards ruled with iron fists, batons, and solitary confinement and Norfolk--where his voice was encouraged until it became a threat. Therese were the formative years that transitioned Malcolm Little to Malcolm X.
