The real political mission of Malcolm X and why it needs to be revived now – 100 years after his birth. Malcolm X is a titanic figure in political history, but he is also one of the most misunderstood. So much of what we know about his life and politics comes from books, movies, and documentaries that spread the myth of Malcolm for their own interests. Forever known as the violent Yang to Martin Luther King’s Yin, in the years since his death he has been adapted into the American narrative, punished by his enemies for his radicalism and marginalized by decades of governments, academics, and activists. But here, for the first time, Malcolm is rediscovered. In the century since his birth, in a world shaken by decades of injustice and racism, Malcolm's political mission is more urgent than ever. In Nobody Can Give You Freedom, Kehinde Andrews reveals his true revolutionary agenda. Malcolm's activism was his philosophy, and paying attention to it reveals the true cultural icon – who, if he were alive today, would tell us to pick up the baton and overthrow this evil system forever.
