Edward Canade’s Reviews > The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X > Status Update

Well Malcolm X had to go through a lot of changes from his youth. he was quite the rowdy one. He apparently was one of the few people who seemed to have benefited by being incarcerated. just per chance he met someone that inspired him to understand the value and power of language and linguistics. Also, there are lots of details not contained in his autobiography.

new to me info, such as the Omaha race riots in the early 20th century. The city where Malcolm X was born. I’m learning about Marcus Garvey and W. E. B. Du Bois and their competing organizations within the black community with animosity and competition. I’ve read Malcolm X’s autobiography that he did with Alex Haley. Here there is more of a historical context.
Surprised 13 yr old Malcolm so hard on his mother.
