Malcolm X: A Short Biography: Short Biographies of Famous People
()
About this ebook
Malcolm X is likely the most well-known figure from the American civil rights movement of the 1960s, aside from Martin Luther King Jr. But unlike King's famous "I have a dream" speech and tragic death, Malcolm X's words and writings, as well as his personal narrative, are not well known by many people.
We learn about the man in this book from a unique point of view, including his background, how he joined the Nation of Islam, and his trips to the Middle East and Africa. The puzzle of one of the most significant African Americans of the 20th century is made up of all of these important components.
You will learn in this book.
What the X represents and how Malcolm chose to adopt it, how Malcolm X's life altered following the death of John F. Kennedy, and the reasons he split from the Nation of Islam.
