The article is about autobiography of Malcolm X who was known as one of the most articulate and powerful leaders of Black America.

Researches I have done so far about Literacy relates to this article about overcoming literacy. He did it himself like self-education but the struggles and challenges other people face when they are adults and getting into different programs in overcoming illiteracy.
