The Malcolm X Project

The Malcolm X Project was created in 2001 by Dr. Manning Marable and the Institute of African-American Studies at Columbia University. For those interested in the life of Malcolm X the website includes a multimedia version of The Autobiography of Malcolm X. The Project presents The Autobiography text online with hyperlinks, audio, video, and images throughout. The website also includes an oral history section, which provides interviews with those who personally knew Malcolm X as well as historians of the period. The chronology section offers an in-depth timeline, which includes photos and summaries of various events throughout Malcolm X’s life. The section dedicated to the Government provides the user with several Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) documents. There is also a journal, published articles, and section where the user can hear, through audio, Malcolm's speaches and interviews. Clearly this site and project are a work in progress. However, Marable is perhaps the leading historian on the life of Malcolm X, so for those interested in Malcolm X specficially regarding new and fresh perspectives on his life this website may be of value.
