The Autobiography of Malcolm X
I Make My Own Rules by LL Cool J
Bad As I Wanna Be by Dennis Rodman

[Salience]

[COLOR=crimson]Along with Assata and Coming of Age, I loved Taste of Power by Elaine Brown. We got to see another side of the BPPSD.

I just started "Open Wide the Freedom Gates," but I know i'm going to love it.

I recommend LIFE or DEF by Russell Simmons. I read it last weekend and found it very informative about Russell's life, hip hop history, and his business mentality. I see him as so "straight laced" and quiet that some of his words were shocking as well as parts of his past.

Overall I still recommend it. It had some great pictures in it as well.

Soror Height's Open Wide the Freedom Gates is one of the best I have ever read.

Not sure why I did not list it before I loved Autobiography of Malcolm X.

I've read so many books, I can't remember them all. Here are few that come to mind:

Don't Block the Blessings - Patti Labell
Makes Me Wanna Holla - Nathan McCall
Dear Senator - Soror Essie Mae Washington-Williams
The Autobigrapy of Malcolm X
Angel on my Sholder- Soror Natalie Cole
Open Wide the Freedom Gates - Soror Dorothy Height

[TheEpitome1920]

Wrapped in Rainbows - Zora Neale Hurston

Betty Shabazz - the biography. This was VERY interesting to me because I got a sense of who she would have been had she not married Malcolm.
