After searching for this book for almost three years (some books are pretty hard to come by in Moscow) I finally bought and read ‘The Autobiography of Malcolm X’. All I can say is that it’s a must read for everybody.
Few people in history have made such a meaningful contribution to the fight for freedom and dignity as Malcolm X did. He stirred the country and the world into thought and action, he challenged the complacency and the dominant perceptions of the time, he opened the eyes of millions of people, black and white, and made them question, made them see things in a different light.
As hard as it is to see through his public image, this book gives a reader an insight into Malcolm X’s personal world, his honest and kind character. The life of a man who was on a constant quest for truth is full of important lessons that we should all learn. And if we do maybe our clearer understanding of history and of the present moment will finally enable us to set out on a course towards a brighter future.
