In being a key international presence during the 1950's and '60's, the reverberations of Malcolm X's meaning for that period, particularly in Civil Rights' circles, has inspired unknown generations of people to examine him.

Malcolm is seen to have such meaning, on so many fronts. There are many, who may be unaware of where to go, to seek out literature about him. I have simply put this bibliography together to be a resource to anyone who wishes to know him.
