most influential figures of the 20th Century. In this riveting
account, he tells of his journey from a prison cell to Mecca,
describing his transition from hoodlum to Muslim minister. Here,

relates how his conversion to true Islam helped him confront his
rage and recognize the brotherhood of all mankind.

From hustling, drug addiction and armed violence in America's black ghettos Malcolm X turned, in a dramatic prison conversion, to the puritanical fervour of the Black Muslims. As their spokesman he became identified in the white press as a terrifying teacher of race hatred; but to his direct audience, the oppressed American blacks, he brought hope and self-respect. This autobiography (written with Alex Haley) reveals his quick-witted integrity, usually obscured by batteries of frenzied headlines, and the fierce idealism which led him to reject both liberal hypocrisies and black racialism.
The classic collection of four key speeches by Malcolm X,
including: "Black Man's History," "The Black Revolution," "The Old

Home to Roost" speech ("God's Judgment of White America") delivered
after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Includes an audio
download of Malcolm X delivering two of the speeches. With a new
foreword by Peniel E. Joseph. Malcolm X remains a touchstone figure
for black America and in American culture at large.
