Hello, RP book lovers!

We are excited to announce that our September Book of the Month is THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X by Malcolm X. Here's a quick preview on this compelling read:

From Amazon.com

From hustling, drug addiction and armed violence in America's black ghettos Malcolm X turned, in a dramatic prison conversion, to the puritanical fervour of the Black Muslims. As their spokesman he became identified in the white press as a terrifying teacher of race hatred; but to his direct audience, the oppressed American blacks, he brought hope and self-respect. This autobiography (written with Alex Haley) reveals his quick-witted integrity, usually obscured by batteries of frenzied headlines, and the fierce idealism which led him to reject both liberal hypocrisies and black racialism.

Enjoy!
Ivy

..what a great 360 turn around....

... from being a street criminal to a powerful rights advocate.. i cant believe such a feat is possible.. this time, Islam is the tool that made it happen...

... its really clear that being a good speaker is a "dangerous" skill to possess...
