Malcolm x ebook

It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America. Les Payne, the renowned Pulitzer Prize—winning investigative journalist, embarked in on a nearly thirty-year-long quest to interview anyone he could find who had actually known Malcolm X—all living siblings of the Malcolm Little family, classmates, street friends, cellmates, Nation of Islam figures, FBI moles and cops, and political leaders around the world.

His goal was ambitious: to transform what would become over a hundred hours of interviews into an unprecedented portrait of Malcolm X, one that would separate fact from fiction. The result is this historic biography that conjures a never-before-seen world of its protagonist, a work whose title is inspired by a phrase Malcolm X used when he saw his Hartford followers stir with purpose, as if the dead were truly arising, to overcome the obstacles of racism.

He had to learn self-reliance. If that doesn't work, there may be a network issue, and you can use our self test page to see what's preventing the page from loading.
