Summary:
When Malcolm X was assassinated at 39, his life story nearly died with him. Today The Autobiography of Malcolm X a favorite of President Obama and Justice Clarence Thomas alike stands as a milestone in America's struggle with race. The autobiography is also a Horatio Alger tale, following a man's journey from poverty to crime to militancy to wisdom. Muslims look to Malcolm as a figure of tolerance; a tea party activist claims him for the political right; Public Enemy's Chuck D tells us, "This book is like food. It ain't McDonald's it's sit down at the table and say grace". [Broadcast Date: January 30, 2016]
