Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-05 00:00:00 Wheaton Illinois Excellent and must read book for anyone who loves Malcolm X. Unlike the autobiography, the compilation of X's speeches presented in the book allows the reader to gain more of an insight into the great orator and civil rights activist.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-01 00:00:00 Robert Pettinelli For those of us who have a great deal of respect for Malcolm X, this book is simply a gem! It's a gem because of its eclectic mix of substantive material that can't be found anywhere else. The timing of some of the pieces is impeccable. For example, there are several pieces in this work by Black expatriates, those who happened to bump into Malcolm in that fateful period of between March, 1964, when he leaves the Nation and his death, while he was visiting overseas. These pieces give a rare glimpse at the personal Malcolm,with graphic frames of him in evolution. There is also a very substantive piece by Mrs. Betty Shabazz, Malcolm's widow, talking about him as a husband and what that meant. It's enlightening to hear from her how Malcolm viewed nearly everything in the collective, always taking into account how what he was saying or doing would benefit Black people as a whole. Mrs. Shabazz also makes the point of how Malcolm was able to learn from his mistakes. There is a piece by a journalist named Art Sears, Jr. who met Malcolm early in his career. Sears points out that whenever he left Malcolm a message, at some point, Malcolm always got back to him. Despite Malcolm's meteoric rise in popularity, Malcolm always treated Sears with importance, was kind to him and always addressed him with respect. Sears notes that Malcolm had the extraordinary characteristic of always making sure that anyone he met was treated with importance, that, in fact, there was no such thing as an unimportant person to Malcolm. There is also a very interesting dialogue between Malcolm and Kenneth B. Clark. These are just some of the things available in this book. Overall, this is one of those little-known books that has a lot to offer in the way of Malcolm's story. I love its contribution to the man we know as Malcolm X. It's well-worth reading and I am grateful that I had the privilege to read a book put together by John Henrik Clarke, Malcolm's friend and a man who held great respect for him. This book is a rare and great find! PS--Chapter 4 in "Reality's Pen: Reflections On Family, History & Culture" by Thomas D. Rush is called "Inspiration." That chapter is really a moving dedication to Malcolm X. Anyone interested in Malcolm X will find that chapter worth one's while. In addition, there is much to be gained from the rest of the book.
