Blurb: “A dynamic clergyman and radical visionary, Malcolm X electrified blacks throughout America by insisting that they battle racial oppression with militant action.
Born Malcolm Little in 1925, he grew up in East Lan-sing, Michigan. As a teenager, he moved to the black ghettos of Boston and New York, where he became a street hustler and petty criminal. At the age of twenty, he was arrested for robbery and sent to prison.
While serving out his sentence, Malcolm joined a black religious movement known as the Nation of Islam. He became a spokesman for the Nation upon his release in 1953.
His blistering attacks on America's longstanding racial attitudes earned him a reputation as the ministry's chief operative. He argued against the nonviolent tactics and integrationist policies favored by most civil rights leaders.
He proposed instead a revolutionary program that called for a separate society for blacks. In 1965, in the midst of his efforts to build an international black political move-ment, Malcolm X was assassinated. Yet his ideals remain powerfully alive. A bold leader in the struggle for racial justice, he remains one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century.”
