Summary

In 1990, Les Payne, the renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, embarked on a nearly thirty-year-long quest to interview anyone he could find who had actually known human rights activist Malcolm X â all living siblings of the Malcolm Little family, classmates, street friends, cellmates, Nation of Islam figures, FBI moles and cops, and political leaders around the world. Payne's goal was ambitious: to transform what would become more than one hundred hours of interviews into an unprecedented portrait of Malcolm X, one that would separate fact from fiction, correct the historical record, and deliver extraordinary revelations
