This is a powerful and important book for anyone to read and most importantly for a Black person whom realize they are Black. These days sometimes I wonder. In the 60's we were well aware of the movements taken place. We're Black and Proud. It was in the music of Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, The Last Poets, and so many more. I could go on, but I want to leave space for others. I appreciate this book in audio because my eye sight isn't what it used to be. Thanks for this so very important and special piece of BLACK History. I just Love this.

From here until his trip to Mecca until his unfortunate departure from us he was El Hajj Malik El Shabazz. We do indeed love him. He was taken from us 6years 3months 14days before I was born feel a sense of loss. I read and watch everything I come across trying to soak up everything I can about him. He is us true trinity. From being called the devil by his fellow inmates to trying to changes the 🌎 for the better.

      I first read the autobiography of Malcolm X in the late 1970s while in the military stationed in West Germany. When I was born my family on my Mother's side were members of the Nation of Islam. So I had experienced both the Nation of Islam and the Christian Church as a child so it made reading the autobiography that much more of an impact on me. And until reading the Qur'an no other book had such an impact on me not even the bible. So every time I hear or read someone talk about the book changing their life I understand. And as others have said before me this should be a required reading in our educational system.

      As Salaamu Alaikum! Reading your comments made me reflect on the similarities with my own life. Although I had experienced both the Nation of Islam and the Christian Church as a child when I reached age 15 and 16 my life took a turn for the worst. I realized that I had gotten off track. And at age 16 I had one of my older brothers to tattoo a question mark on my arm because the question in my mind was about my "real purpose" in life. I wanted the Creator to help me see and understand what that was. As a result of several different events three months after my 17th birthday I joined the military and after basis and advanced training I was sent to Europe where I was stationed for nearly two and a half years. Although I was already familiar with the Nation of Islam and Malcolm X I had never read his story. My mother used to say " don't y'all remember when I took y'all to Savior's Day and Malcolm X introduced the Messenger"( when they said the Messenger in the Nation of Islam they meant Elijah Muhammad). So while in Europe I read a wide range of books (a habit my mother started me doing as a young child). Authors like James Baldwin, Langston Huges, George Jackson and Dick Gregory to name a few. But by far the most powerful book that I read until I read the Qur'an was the autobiography of Malcolm X. As you said it help you to discover the real purpose to your life, well I can say the same. I knew since I was a child that I was Muslim by nature. That wasn't the issue for me. But reading Malcolm's autobiography push me into becoming active but becoming active meant I had to become knowledgeable. And I needed to get it straight from the source. I needed to become a serious student of the Qur'an first( my mother gave me my first copy of the Qur'an) so I couldn't be told just anything about Islam or Al-Islam proper by just any body. As ALLAH, the Most High says in HIS Book, "beware of those who will dazzle you with their speak." But one thing that struck me as strange when I informed my mother that I was reading the autobiography of Malcolm X she told me to be careful. And I was puzzled at first by that. But the more I read I realized that she knew it could affect me in a way that could cause me problems as a soldier in the U.S. Military. I went in only 10 years after Muhammad Ali ( who I first met at a Nation of Islam Mosque when I was 10 yrs of age) had refused to be inducted into the U.S. military ( like Elijah Muhammad and many members of the Nation of Islam before him). Plus my mother knew her son. And knew that I could be some what radical even without being inspired by brothers like Malcolm X aka Malik Shabazz. May ALLAH forgive his sins, faults and mistakes and grant in a place in Jannah. Amin!!

I won't say that it totally transformed me or made me into some pious individual or anything.I now in this late stage of my life wished that it had. However what I will say is that it helped me to modify and dramatically change my way of viewing things. And it also helped me to enhance my intelect by using his example of reading and studying everything I could get my hands on, including the dictionary. Malcolm is my big brother, my favorite unlce and to some extent the father that I wished that I had. And I know that I'm not singular in this mindset.
