Customer Reviews

I have never read this book..................However.

I have no idea who is responsible for this kind of disrespect, against both Malcolm X and Yuri Kochiyama. However, Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21 1965, NOT February 12 1965 and I am outraged by this kind of careless mistake, remaining unchecked. How dare you!!!!! I am sure the book is a good read..........but this is ridiculous.
