Description
Benjamin Karim's memoir Remembering Malcolm offers an intimate and human side of the great leader Malcolm X. With insider knowledge and devotion, Karim paints a vivid portrait of Malcolm as counselor, minister, healer, and community member.
This account explores how Malcolm galvanized the Black Muslims through his work at Harlem's New York Mosque Number Seven in the early 1960s. It also delves into the daily rituals and beliefs that bound Malcolm's people together, including courtship and marriage rites, strict customs, and rigorous discipline.
A beautifully written memoir about a compelling human being, Remembering Malcolm is also a vital historical document about one of America's true visionaries of the twentieth century.
