Martin and Malcolm and America: A Dream or a Nightmare? by James H. Cone

hopeful informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

This is my first introduction to Dr. James Cone, and it certainly won’t be my last. What a well-researched historical critique of Dr. King and Malcolm X! While I knew overall that their philosophies moved closer together later in their lives, I didn’t realize exactly how much the two thought alike near the end. The fact that Malcolm X was assassinated mere days before their second scheduled meeting? Heartbreaking for so many reasons. This is definitely a work to revisit to further analyze the similarities and differences between these two leaders.
