This month marks the 100th birthday of Malcolm X, the influential Black leader known for his candid speeches and humor. In his short life, he transitioned from a Nation of Islam spokesman advocating for racial separatism to a human rights advocate seeking dialogue with White allies. His legacy continues to inspire movements for Black dignity and pride, as explored in Mark Whitaker’s upcoming book, “The Afterlife of Malcolm X,” which highlights his profound impact on civil rights, culture, and ongoing discussions about racial justice in America.
