Political Legacy of Malcolm X

“Mr. Oba T’Shaka has written a book which dwarfs all other writings on Malcolm X. Both Alex Haley and George Breitman suggest that Malcolm made fundamental changes in his position toward the end. It is T’Shaka’s contention, and it is this contention that his work documents , that the substance of Malcolm’s thought did not change, even though the form may have changed. A careful reading of T’Shaka’s book will show that he has eclipsed both of these writers, one of whom has an international reputation.” —Dr. Asa Hillard, III Fuller E. Callaway Professor of Urban Education
