In collaboration with the Malcolm X Estate, this powerful biography for young readers is a modern classic in the making, written by #1 New York Times-bestselling, National Book Award-winning author Ibram X. Kendi.
Published 100 years after his birth, Malcolm Lives! is a ground-breaking narrative biography of one of the most influential Americans of all time.
Dr. Kendi expertly crafts a propulsive telling of Malcolm X’s life—from birth to death. He provides context for both Malcolm’s choices—and those around him—not just painting an intimate picture of a famous figure, but of the social and political landscape of America during the civil rights movement.
Ultimately, Malcolm's true legacy is a journey toward anti-racism. Just like history, Malcolm lives.
With short, evocative chapters, exclusive archival documents, photographs from the Malcolm X Collection at the NYPL Schomburg Center, and extensive backmatter, this is a thoughtful and accessible, must-read for all Americans.
Dr. Ibram X. Kendi is a National Book Award-winning author of books for adults and children, including New York Times bestsellers like Stamped From the Beginning, Stamped for Kids, How to Raise an Anti-Racist, and Goodnight Racism. Dr. Kendi is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in Humanities at Boston University, and the director of the BU Center for Antiracist Research. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts.
