Description:
Malcolm X was one of the most controversial civil rights leaders of our century. This compelling narrative for picture-book readers explores Malcolm's journey from his tragic childhood to his life as a street hustler, a Black Muslim, a prison inmate, and a fearless leader in the struggle for blacks to achieve equality. Walter Dean Myers skillfully weaves quotes from Malcolm's speeches to re-create the life and times of this extraordinary man. His dynamic text and Leonard Jenkins's boldly colored, richly textured paintings celebrate Malcolm X and his fiery message.
