|  | Malcolm X by Leonard Jenkins, Walter Dean Myers
This thorough biography explores the life of the civil rights leader from his birth in 1925 to his assassination 40 years later. Along the way, Malcolm X's life is presented in a factual yet spirited manner that clearly shows how his difficult childhood inspired him to seek equality for all black people. Myers doesn't evade the problematic aspects of Malcolm X's life, including his stint as a street hustler, the time he spent in jail, and the important role he played in the often controversial Nation of Islam. Illustrated with b&w photographs, this eloquent work by Myers includes extensive quotes from Malcolm X's autobiography. AUTHOR: Leonard Jenkins, Walter Dean Myers
