Malcolm Lives!

This ground-breaking narrative biography of one of the most influential Americans of all time is a perfect read-alike to Dr. Kendi's other #1 New York Times Bestselling books - like How to Be an Antiracist and Stamped for Young Readers - as well as Steve Sheinkin's most beloved titles.

He provides context for both Malcolm's choices - and those around him - not just painting an intimate picture of a famous figure, but of that time period in America. Readers will learn about the history of racism and Malcolm's journey to becoming an anti-racist in short, evocative chapters interspersed with black-and-white images of exclusive archival documents and photos from the Malcolm X Collection at the NYPL Schomburg Centre.This biography illustrates that Malcolm's true legacy is a journey toward anti-racism. And that just like history, Malcolm lives.Includes extensive backmatter.
