The Awakening of Malcolm X by Tiffany D. Jackson, Ilyasah Shabazz

4.5

This was so good.  An enjoyable accompaniment to his autobiography. Malcolm went through a lot, this book provided a clear picture of how he remained close to his siblings and how they all discovered Islam together. This book also proved to us the more things change, the more they really remain the same. This timeline was during the early 1930s prison system and in 2021 things are really no different. I didn't know too much about his life. School don't teach you too much about Malcolm X. So I love that I learn more about him.
