This isn’t the book for me. Now don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad book but I believe Malcolm was his own interpretation. He said it courageously and front of the whole world. Malcolm didn’t live a life needing someone else’s interpretation. I personally believe the author misses the connection of the UNIA, Marcus Garvey and his own parents.
With that being said. I believe the author falls into the same trap that others fall into by trying to teach Malcolms own words and throwing his opinion in the whole time. Y.N. Kly overdoes it with the islamic approach for me.
