What is looked upon as an American dream for white people has long been an American nightmare for black people. Experience of that nightmare transformed Malcolm X into one of the most rousing Black Nationalist leaders. Beatrice Gormley captures Malcolm X's life: his youth as a petty criminal; jailhouse conversion to the Nation of Islam; marriage to Betty Shabazz; embrace of traditional Islam; and assassination.
