University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

As a young college student, The Autobiography of Malcolm X left an indelible impression. Of the many books that I have read, none has affected my social consciousness and helped to direct my academic interests more than this epic depiction of the struggle for human dignity and social equality. It remains "une historie pour les epoques". I challenge future generations of scholars in the quest for erudition and discovery to reward our understanding of the human condition by profiting from this work.
