His story fascinates young readers and continues to inspire prison inmates who see Malcolm’s life as a reflection of their own. Whether people revere Malcolm as someone who wanted to uplift his race or suspect him to be a figure who widened the racial divide through his unrestrained critique of the American social order, it is safe to say that even in death, his legacy is still evolving. Some scholars argue that Malcom X inspired a generation of African American men while other misguided souls believe his lasting legacy is one of racial polarization. Malcolm X’s life was one of complexity due to many changes, internal and external, that impacted his evolution as a man as well as his broad influence on African American culture. He personifies the rebel and the reformed, the unsympathetic and passionate, and the incorrigible and scholarly.
For many African American males inside and outside of prison, Malcolm X embodies the true meaning of manhood, spirituality, and leadership.
