Malcolm X was one of the most important contributors to the advancement of human rights and human dignity in the last century. His words and actions have moved nations and peoples. In coming weeks, the world will see, The Diary of Malcolm X, printed contents of his private diary from the year 1964. This Diary, recorded by Malcolm during the year immediately preceding his assassination, describes his travels to many nations, and meetings with numerous world leaders. In these pages, Malcolm describes the deep emotional connections he developed during a period that was constantly colored by his prophetic sense of impending tragedy. Recovered recently from the memorabilia maintained by the family, he lays out his unique action plan for African Americans.
We are very grateful that Malcolm’s children have granted us the opportunity to publish The Diary; it is the most important volume we have ever brought to the public, after more than 46 years in publishing. We need your help to do this in the manner that honors and respects the importance of Malcolm.
Set to be released in November 2013, The Diary of Malcolm X, was edited and annotated by author and journalist Herb Boyd in collaboration with Malcolm’s and Betty’s third eldest daughter, Ilyasah Al-Shabazz. In it we see the deep reflections of this transformative figure as he developed a new vision for the elevation and integration of the African Diaspora in the context of the world changing events that are having so great an impact on today’s headlines, both in the United States and throughout the world.
We need your help because a book of this importance needs to be supported with an appropriate campaign of public relations and marketing. These costs far exceed our resources. Even the costs incurred to date, and the costs of initial printing, are beyond our financial capacity without your help. Thankfully, we believe that you will be there to allow us to make this undertaking a great success; to help us to let the world at large know of the opportunity to become reacquainted with Malcolm X in a manner that is more personal than any previous encounter. We believe we can count on you to help make this a best seller.
We believe that you, our supporters, deserve to be the recipients of
meaningful rewards for your participation in this campaign and we welcome
you as old friends and new to the family of the Third World Press.
