Description
Malcolm X lived in difficult times when some thought that black people were inferior to white people. He believed that black people should stand up for their rights and preached this belief everywhere he went. His message became popular because it was one of hope and pride, but also dangerous as some people disagreed with him. In 1965, one of these people shot and killed him, cutting short his life by hatred. Despite this tragic end, Malcolm X's ideas still affect people of all races today. This book tells the story of an extraordinary individual who fought for what he believed in, leaving a lasting impact on history. An ALA Notable Children's Book.
