Summary

More
As a 14-year-old he was Malcolm Little, the president of his class and a top student. At 16 he was hustling tips at a Boston nightclub. At 20 “Detroit Red” was in prison. It was there Malcolm Little started the journey that would lead him to adopt the name Malcolm X and develop his galvanizing beliefs.

His significant role in the Nation of Islam, his eventual split from it, and his assassination in Harlem are all chronicled as part of this fascinating portrait of an often polarizing figure in African American history.
