After beginning to read The Biography of Malcolm X, I honestly believe that he is one of the people that I will remember for the rest of my life. His story is so bold, honest, and brave. My respect for this man skyrocketed as I turned each and every one of the pages in his biography. Malcolm X went from being a good student to a drug addict, burglar, and hustler to being a firm believer in the Nation of Islam and its founder, Elijah Muhammad. After being addicted to cocaine and reefers, he ended up in jail where he discovered his true religion and his meaning in life.
His name may be mentioned in history books, but it is not as commonly mentioned or remembered as Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King Jr. I have a lot of respect for him because his story is not only a unique one, but it is one that should be as known as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks and even Harriet Tubman. He is a person of courage, determination, and faith…who in my opinion makes a great role model and person.
He should be known for the triumphs that he endured because they are truly inspirational and can convince people that no matter what they have gone through in life, they can always turn toward a more positive route and make something great out of themselves while making a positive change in the world.
