Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention
by Manning Marable
🏆 Winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for History
Manning Marable's critically acclaimed, bestselling biography of the U.S. civil rights icon "artfully strips away the layers and layers of myth that have been lacquered onto his subject’s life, first by Malcolm himself in that famous memoir, and later by both supporters and opponents after his assassination,” as Michiko Kakutani wrote in The New York Times.
Freedom: A Photographic History of the African American Struggle
by Leith Mullings, Manning Marable & Sophie Spencer-Wood
The genius of this book, in my view, is that it intersperses positive pictures of the struggle for civil rights and equality with really shocking images.
