The #1 New York Times bestselling, National Book Award-winning author Dr. Ibram X. Kendi joins us to discuss his groundbreaking narrative biography of Malcom X for young readers. In Malcolm Lives!, Kendi expertly crafts a telling of Malcolm X’s life, providing context for both Malcolm’s choices — and those around him — not just painting an intimate picture of a famous figure, but of the social and political landscape of America during the civil rights movement. In collaboration with the Malcolm X Estate, Kendi provides a thoughtful and accessible look into Malcolm’s journey toward anti-racism, just one day before what would have been Malcolm X’s 100th birthday.
