About this audiobook
Malcolm X was a widely known African American Muslim minister and civil liberties leader at the time of the civil liberties movement. He was an enthusiastic supporter for Black emancipation and the big promotion of Islam within the Black community till 1964, when he ended up being the Country of Islam's spokesperson.
Following his dad's death and his mom's institutionalization, Malcolm spent his teenage years in a series of foster families or with loved ones. He took part in some unlawful acts before being sentenced to 10 years in jail for larceny and breaking and going into in 1946.
After being released from jail in 1952, he signed up with the Country of Islam, took the name Malcolm X (to represent his unidentified African family surname), and quickly rose to end up into one of the company's most effective leaders.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I believe this audiobook needs a compliment from me, a sincere listener. The very best parts of this book (I forgot which chapters) implied the most to me. When I heard these things, I instantly knew I had actually made the ideal choice. This book spoke to me. I understand I am definitely not the best of customer review writers, but this is worthy of appreciation. The author and narrator have obviously put so much energy and time into these books.
