"I was going through the hardest thing, also the greatest thing, for any human being to do; to accept that which is already within in, and around you" - El Hajj Malik El Shabazz (Malcolm X)
Lily J, Regine, Jeannine and Jianan
Our takeaway:
Read it.
Read it slowly and carefully.
It is not accidental that the life of Malcolm X takes over 450 pages to describe.
It is not accidental that over these 450 pages it tells the stories of three men: Malcolm Little, Malcolm X and El Hajj Malik El Shabazz
Read it and reflect on the emotions that you feel as you read through each chapter of his life. Observe the changes in your perceptions of Malcolm X and the changes he goes through during his lifetime.
This book is about a man's critical literacy and also provides critical literacy about a certain perspective in this historical context.
Questions to ponder: 1) w What is not being said in his autobiography? (consider other takes on his life), 2) What would a modern day Malcolm X look like?, 3) Where would you stand on Malcolm X during that time?
