Fighting For Our Place in the Sun

In Fighting for Our Place in the Sun, Richard D. Benson II examines the life of Malcolm X as not only a radical political figure, but also as a teacher and mentor. The book illuminates the untold tenets of Malcolm X's educational philosophy, and also traces a historical trajectory of Black activists that sought to create spaces of liberation and learning that are free from cultural and racial oppression.

In this book, author Richard Benson II is able to uncover and offer insight into some of the lesser known aspects of Malcolm X's influence on African American student organizations during the 1960s and mid-1970s.
