About this Event

Join MahoganyBooks for an exciting evening as we host New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ibram X. Kendi for his latest young adult nonfiction Malcolm LIVES!

Grab a friend and bring them out to be reminded that just like history, Malcolm LIVES!

A big thank you to the Prince George's County Memorial Library System - Oxon Hill Branch for partnering with us for this event.

About the book: Malcolm LIVES!

National Book Award–winning and #1 New York Times–bestselling author Dr. Ibram X. Kendi brings an American icon to life in the first major biography of Malcolm X for young people in more than thirty years.
As a youth, Malcolm endured violence, loss, hunger, foster care, racism, and being incarcerated. He emerged from it all to make a lasting global impact. As a Muslim. As a family man. As a revolutionary. Malcolm’s life story shows the promise of every human being. Of you!


To trace Malcolm’s childhood and adult years, Kendi draws on Malcolm’s stirring oratory style, using repetition and rhetoric. Short, swift chapters echo Malcolm’s trademark fast walk. An abundance of never-before published letters, notes, flyers, photos, extensive source notes, and more give young readers a front-row seat to his life.


One hundred years after his birth in 1925, Malcolm’s antiracist legacy lives on in this thoughtful and accessible must-read for all Americans. For you!
Just like history, Malcolm lives.

About the author: Dr. Ibram X. Kendi is a National Book Award-winning author of books for adults and children, including New York Times bestsellers like Stamped From the Beginning, Stamped for Kids, How to Raise an Anti-Racist, and Goodnight Racism.
