Some Books on Malcolm X

On Tuesday, I had a lively, whew, really lively, conversation about Malcolm X with the guys in my class. We had planned to just cover an excerpt of one speech, where Malcolm is discussing house Negroes vs. field Negroes. But guys had a lot to say so, we ended up covering quite bit. 

I recently finished an article on Malcolm recently, so I'll share some of the Malcolm books I drew on with the guys in an upcoming class.
