The book I chose for the month of January is The Autobiography of Malcolm X. I chose this book because I've always wanted to read it and learn more about Malcolm X. I've heard people mention this book numerous times, but I've always felt left out. Now is my opportunity to take advantage and read this book.
The other reason why I wanted to read this book is because I've wanted to learn more about Malcolm X. Today we mainly hear of Martin Luther King Jr, who yes did have a monumental affect on history, but Malcolm did too, and I want to learn more about how he contributed to African-American history. Growing up I learned about both Martin Luther and Malcolm X, but it was more detailed for Martin Luther. I was given a broad view of Malcolm X in that he stood for the same thing as Martin Luther, but took on a more violent role. Now I want to take the time and discover the truth for myself, and understand why he did what he did.
