Byline correction

I can't seem to find an address to which this information should be directed, so here it is: This title should be listed as 'Text by William Strickland, Oral Histories selected and edited by Cheryll Y. Greene' (that's me). That's the way the credits are listed on the front cover, title page, with the Library of Congress, etc. Please correct your search function to include this information. Sometimes people still look for the book using my name. Thank you. (I had to fill in the star rating above in order to send this to you. Please disregard.)

Many Perspectives on A Changing Man

Based on the acclaimed PBS documentary, this photographic biography of the controversial African American leader combines evocative photographs with poignant memories from friends, family members, admirers and a few critics. This multifaceted examination of the militant leader's turbulent life helped me understand his rage and power. If you read his autobiography, then you will find this book especially valuable. An excellent supplement to the documentary because it includes material that they had to exclude, due to time limitations, from the documentary.
