About this listen

One of Time’s 10 most important nonfiction books of the 20th century.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne.

In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential for anyone who wants to understand the African American experience and America as a whole.

What a man Malcolm X was, today we see the issues he spoke about still present and still not resolved as he spoke about. The man was right, too right and too powerful, too charismatic, too much of a risk for the powers that be, that he ultimately paid with his life. The man who took no compromise and didn’t bend to anything. Just search up the recorded meetings the secret agents had with him telling him to stop. A book well worth reading, one that should be read in every school/college/university across the world

He wasn’t wrong. What a man.
