I am really looking forward to reading this new biography. I am unapologetic in telling anyone that Malcolm X is one of my heroes. As one would expect, anything related to Malcolm X usually sparks controversy. This biography, written by the recently deceased professor, historian and scholar, Manning Marable, is no exception. What follows is a few links related to Marable and his work on the Malcolm X story, along with a number of reviews of the book.The Malcolm X Project at Columbia University
