A Superb Pictorial! A Must Have For All Admirers Of Malcolm X!

An extraordinary collection of photographs highlighting the life and times of the great African-American leader, Al Hajj Malik Shabazz, better known as Malcolm X. Presented in black and white format, this book is comprised of rare pictures that effectively convey the passionate, inspirational persona of the great leader. Though more of a pictorial than an exposé into Malcolm's "life and/or philosophy", the large photos and detailed commentary adequately outlines his ideology, as well as the tumultuous racial climate of the era. Included are photos of Malcolm's family, Elijah Muhammad, and Martin Luther King. Additionally, there are rare pictures of Marcus Garvey, members of the Nation of Islam, W. E. B. Dubois, Adam Clayton Powell, Muhammad Ali and even a young Redd Foxx. Though only 80 pages long, the cliché that a picture is worth a thousand words in more than apropos here. I highly recommend it.
