This video segment, The Legacy of Malcolm X, from Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien, spotlights after more than a year of protesters putting racial inequality one of several books addressing Black history that were honored with Pulitzer Prizes.
The biography, The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X, was written by the late investigative journalist Les Payne and finished by his daughter Tamara. After 30 years of research, Payne collected over 100 hours of interviews with people who knew Malcolm X, from classmates to family members.
Soledad O’Brien interviewed author, activist, and educator Ilyasah Shabazz to talk about her parents, Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz, and her family’s legacy.
