Malcolm Lives: the Official Biography of Malcolm X for Young Readers by Ibram X. Kendi. 400p. Farrar, Straus and Giroux BYR. May 13, 2025.
I'm so excited for this biography. I'm a fan of Dr. Kendi. This news just inspired my #tbt post for tomorrow!
Publisher synopsis: In collaboration with the Malcolm X Estate, this powerful biography for young readers is a modern classic in the making, written by #1 New York Times-bestselling, National Book Award-winning author Ibram X. Kendi.
Published 100 years after his birth, Malcolm Lives! is a ground-breaking narrative biography of one of the most influential Americans of all time.
Dr. Kendi expertly crafts a propulsive telling of Malcolm X’s life—from birth to death. He provides 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.
Ultimately, Malcolm's true legacy is a journey toward anti-racism. Just like history, Malcolm lives.
With short, evocative chapters, exclusive archival documents, photographs from the Malcolm X Collection at the NYPL Schomburg Center, and extensive backmatter,this is a thoughtful and accessible, must-read for all Americans.
