Malcolm X / Biographical Book vs. Biographical Movie :
A 10 page paper comparing The Autobiography of Malcolm
X, as told to Alex Haley with the Spike Lee movie
Malcolm X, released in 1992 and based on Haleys
account of Malcolm Xs life and political activities.
Malcolm X underwent a great change in his thinking during
the last year of his life, the year in which Haleys book was
published (1965), but most of his political activity was
publicand highly militantlong before he discovered the
broader implications of the Islam to which he was so
committed. As described in this paper, the movie is true to
the book overall, but relies more on the negatives of racism
than it does on tracing Malcolm Xs evolution. Bibliography

Sources : 8 pages in length. Does
The Autobiography of Malcolm X, as written by Malcolm
X himself, truly reflect the truths about the civil rights leader
when compared against Malcolm X: Make It Plain, a
biography written by William Strickland? Historically, the
two publications are quite complementary in their timeline
of events, emotions and significance. The writer compares
and contrasts many of the similarities between the two
books. Malcolm2.wps
