Malcolm X

I have just began reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X, by Alex Haley, and I must say that I greatly enjoy it.  I enjoy the autobiography so much because it presents accurate historical facts in the format of a story.  From the first couple of pages, I am able to understand the bitterness and fear that the black community had to deal with during the early 1900s.  From the very first paragraph, when the narrator says, "The Klansmen shouted threats and warnings at her that we had better get out of town..." (Haley 1), I can tell that the environment at that time seemed to accept racism as a natural aspect of society.  The more I understand that racism was a common aspect of civil society at that time, the more I am angered by it.  I cannot understand how humans could treat others as if they were the luggage of society, just because their skin color is different.  Malcolm X is known for being a savior to the black and muslim community.  However, I feel that he is a savior to the white race as well, for making them understand how immoral racism is.
