Book Overview

"Vital, brilliant" --New York Times Book Review * A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection * 4 starred reviews

National Book Award-winning and #1 New York Times-bestselling author Dr. Ibram X. Kendi brings a global icon to life in the first major biography of Malcolm X for young people in more than thirty years--perfect for fans of blockbuster hit STAMPED: A REMIX with Jason Reynolds.

As a youth, Malcolm endured violence, loss, hunger, foster care, racism, and being incarcerated. He emerged from it all to make a lasting impact. As a Black Muslim. As a family man. As a revolutionary. Malcolm's life story shows the promise of every human being. Of you!

To trace Malcolm's childhood and adult years, Kendi draws on Malcolm's stirring oratory style, using repetition and rhetoric. Short, swift chapters echo Malcolm's trademark fast walk. An abundance of never-before-published letters, notes, flyers, photos, extensive source notes, and more give young readers a front-row seat to his life.

One hundred years after his birth in 1925, Malcolm's antiracist legacy lives on in this thoughtful and accessible must-read for all people. For you!

Just like history, Malcolm lives.
