i first read it in highschool and then again in college and both times it gave me an indescribable feeling. it's commedable that at fourteen you would be reading that book. most young people your age don't pick up books anymore and that's sadder than the brother who hadn't heard of him prior to the movie. i love Malcolm X. he has been one of my heroes since highschool and i long for the day when the media initiates an open discussion about him because it's the media who has perpetuated the negativity image associated with the man.
peace and blessings,
