Rontrez Hall: The Autobiography of Malcolm X

I chose to read The Autobiography of Malcolm X because all throughout elementary and middle school, while studying the Civil Rights Movement, our main focus would be on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I know how big of an impact he had on society, but there are more people who had a part in the Civil Rights Movement, like Malcolm X. I wanted to expand my knowledge and learn about others who played an important role. I found the book to be very interesting. I would have never guessed that Malcolm X had the reckless and wild past that he had. While being in prison, he learned about the Muslim faith, which was the driving force that caused him to get his life together. He became one of the most inspirational people in the Civil Rights Movement.
