June 23, 1997: After surviving for a remarkable twenty-two days, his widow, Betty Shabazz, dies of burns suffered in a fire. In the years between, their six daughters reach adulthood, forged by the memory of their parents&#8217; love, the meaning of their cause, and the power of their faith. Now, at long last, one of them has recorded that tumultuous journey in an unforgettable memoir: <i>Growing Up X</i>.<br><br>Born in 1962, Ilyasah was the middle child, a rambunctious livewire who fought for&#8211;and won&#8211;attention in an all-female household. She carried on the legacy of a renowned father and indomitable mother while navigating childhood and, along the way, learning to do the hustle. She was a different color from other kids at camp and yet, years later as a young woman, was not radical enough for her college classmates. Her story is, sbove all else, a tribute to a mother of almost unimaginable forbearance, a woman who, &#8220;from that day at the Audubon when she heard the shots and threw her body on [ours, never] stopped shielding her children.&#8221;
