Kennedy, or Martin Luther King Jr. But when he was murdered in 1965, he was still seen as a dangerous outsider. White America found him frightening, mainstream African Americans found him divisive, and even his admirers found him bravely radical. Although he was famously eulogized by Ossie Davis as a 'black shining prince,' Malcolm X never received the mainstream acceptance toward which he seemed to be striving in his final year. It is more in death than in life that Malcolm's influence has blossomed and come to leave a deep imprint on the cultural landscape of America. With impeccable research and original reporting, Mark Whitaker tells the story of Malcolm X's far-reaching posthumous legacy. It stretches from founders of the Black Power movement to hip hop pioneers such as Public Enemy and Tupac Shakur. Leaders of the Black Arts and Free Jazz movements, from Maya Angelou to John Coltrane, credited their political awakening to Malcolm, as did some of the most influential athletes of our time. He has been cited as a formative influence by both Barack Obama, who found a model in Malcolm's 'unadorned insistence on respect'- and Clarence Thomas, who was drawn to Malcolm's messages of self-improvement and economic self-help. In compelling new detail, Whitaker also retraces the long road to exoneration for two men wrongfully convicted of Malcolm's murder, making The Afterlife of Malcolm X essential reading for anyone interested in American politics, history, culture, and true crime."--Jacket cover X, Malcolm, 1925-1965 Influence X, Malcolm, 1925-1965 Assassination X, Malcolm, 1925-1965 6753 African Americans Intellectual life Afroamericanos Vida intelectual 3282 Black Muslims Biography Musulmanes negros 11025 African American political activists Biography Activistas políticos 7184 Black power United States History Estados Unidos Civilización Influencias africanas 26222 7 cbc copycat 2 ncip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK sba 124254 124254 0 0 lcc 0 0 RR BJB BJB RR 2025-07-16 0 002 E 185.97 W578a 2025 00000191652 2025-07-16 16:37:00 1 2025-07-16 BK
