The legacy each author left is similar and different. Malcolm and Douglass gave us honesty, the truth, and meaningful memos while Alexie and King gave us entertainment, visual words, and dialogue in reading. However, Malcolm, Douglass, and Alexie gave their people a voice. Douglass play a part of the “abolition movement” (122). The abolition movement helps Douglass understand there're people in the North trying to end slavery. Yet, Malcolm wrote to “Mr.Muhammad,…daily” (281) about his teachings in books because it made him open his mind. However, Alexie and King say reading a lot of books are very important. Alexie would “read books late into the night,..at recess, then during lunch” (17). While, King writes “...you must...read a lot” (221)
