In this riveting account, he tells of his journey from a prison cell to Mecca, describing his transition from hoodlum to Muslim minister.

Quotes from The Autobiography of Malcolm X
So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.
The ability to read awoke inside of me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive.
If someone puts their hands on you make sure they never put their hands on anybody else again.
