Discover a World of Knowledge, Homemade Education, and Courses at the online Malcolm X Pan-African Library

Explore books, journals, and digital resources to inspire your mind and fuel your curiosity as it once inspired our martyred black prince Shahidi Malcolm X. He devised “home made learning” as the premier way the masses of black people could lift themselves up by their own bootstraps. Malcolm X loved all kinds of knowledge, made himself literate and used it for the advancement of the black man worldwide. This website is dedicated to his pan-African ideal on grassroots or black community education and the advance of literacy, where the black man begins to education himself and his children his way and the way he likes for his own community as he follows the political, educational economic, and social principle of Race First. Malcolm’s grass roots approach to home made education will finally allow the black man world wide to build life-giving, life-saving institutions of power that will finally enable the black man to build the kind of Africa and the kind of black civilization and world we want! Booker T. Washington put what we now call “homemade education” into institutional form with the founding of Tuskegee Institute, a grassroots technical college where black men and women learned hands on skills along with what then was called “book learning.” Both of these men “Malcolm X” and “Booker T.” provide us the educational principles and philosophy pursued by this online community library so that we can say with the great Marcus Mosiah Garvey “Up you mighty race, accomplish what you will.”
