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

4.0

I read [b:X|22292486|X|Ilyasah Shabazz|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1408018336l/22292486._SY75_.jpg|41679264] a while ago (like when it first came out) and bits and pieces of it came back to me as I read this one. This book covers an interesting period in Malcolm's life--the transition between Malcolm Little and Malcolm X. I always thought Malcolm X went to prison at a later point in his life, but it turns out he was still a teenager. There's a lot to sink your teeth into here--how little has changed about prisons, the religious freedoms Malcolm X fought for, the way you transform your thoughts over time.
