About this episode
From street hustler and prison inmate to a revolutionary leader whose voice would shake the foundations of America, this is the definitive life story of Malcolm X. Told in his own unflinching words, his journey is a searing indictment of racial injustice and a timeless testament to the power of transformation. More than a memoir, this is a foundational text of the civil rights era—a fiery, controversial, and essential call for justice and self-determination that remains as urgent today as the day it was written.
