“Learning To Read”

I found it very inspiring and interesting how he took it upon himself to learn and educate himself during his imprisonment. What is even more fascinating is what he did after gaining so much knowledge. To add on, something that caught my attention and that I found interesting was how much in the dark many African Americans were during those times and how even African Americans were hidden from the truths and realities of slavery. Moreover, i found it inspiring to see how he was exposed to all of this information and he chose to not stay silent. I feel like many people would have lacked the courage to have done so, especially as a black man during those times. When Malcom X mentions “a homemade education” I would take that as showing Malcolm X’s journey to educating himself through his own means. I appreciated the fact that he shared his knowledge around and took it upon himself to make a change in society. He never stopped trying to make a change and take initiative to alter society. Ultimately, I found all of this very brave and admirable.
