Race Inequality During The Civil Rights Movement
Alex Haley wrote a coruscating autobiographical novel about Malcolm X during the Civil Rights movement. Malcolm was a radical Civil Rights leader that used what some might call primitive tactics in order to achieve his goal. With this novel people got a better idea about Malcolm`s viewpoints and were able to understand Malcolm a little bit better. Historically after the novel was published according to a database “Malcolm X articulates a truth already latent but ungrasped in the autobiographical narrative he originally set out to write in his evangelical zeal: his life was not now and never had been a life of the simpler pattern of the traditional conversion story” (Carson n.pag.).
