John Scherer's Reviews > The Afterlife of Malcolm X: An Outcast Turned Icon's Enduring Impact on America

4.5 stars. What a fascinating book. Whitaker explores the varying impact of Malcolm X on politics, culture, art, and obviously civil rights and justice. He further narrates and enlightens the path of the judicial case of his murderers, including the wrongfully accused and convicted. Interesting approach to a still vivid and influential figure in African American, U.S., and world history. His legacy still lives.
