Byron Solis-The autobiography of Malcolm X

The Autobiography of Malcolm X is all about the struggle that the world renowned Human Rights activist faced through out his life, whether it was from his early childhood to his assassination. This autobiography gives a more in depth look on his personality, his lifestyle, and his belief towards many things, rather than the basic facts that are spread around about him.
I chose this book because of my interests on 20th century America and how it impacts how we live today. Malcolm X was one of the major figures in the Civil Rights movement, and how he reacted and how he convinced many other Americans to go with his beliefs interests me also.
