You ought to study Malcolm X. Absolutely fascinating character, given his immense potential and personal appeal, he could be described as a serious underachiever as far as bringing any legislative change improve the lives of African American is concerned. But he allowed the African Americans to think, question and challenge the system like no one else could do before him. And you cannot downplay the significance of that. But what makes him such a mythical figure is the fact his enduring legacy is that of a personal transformation. From a ghetto rebel, to a hardline radical speaker to a serious political figure, is indeed very inspiring. To me, his journey reflects the change society needed at the time, and the change it still needs. What really secures his legendary status in history is the simply fact he was never afraid to openly admit his mistakes and say yes, I’ve learned from them and I can explain why I was wrong. That’s so wonderfully human.

Anyway, I can go and on. So I just wanted to drop some names of the book before I forget. So the ones I’ve read (or had to read):

• Penguin Classics, The Autobiography of Malcolm X Introduction by Paul Gilroy

• The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley

• Malcolm X: A Real of Reinvention by Manning Marable

• Dreams and Nightmares: Martin Luther King, JR., Malcolm X, and the Struggle for Black Equality in America by Britta Waldschmidt-Nelson

If decide to read any of books above, do let me know and I’d more happy to discuss some of the themes and issues in detail.

will try to find out a copy of any of these books and let you know
