    The Autobiography of Malcolm  X (1965) was the result of a collaboration between

    the African-American Muslim minister and human rights activist Malcolm X and the
    journalist Alex Haley. Haley based it on a series of interviews between 1963 and
    Malcolm X's assassination on February 21, 1965. It is a spiritual conversion
    narrative outlining Malcolm X's philosophy of black pride, black nationalism, and
    pan-Africanism. While Malcolm X and scholars contemporary to the book's
    publication regarded Haley as the book's ghostwriter, modern scholars regard him
    as an essential collaborator who subsumed his authorial voice to allow readers to
    feel as though Malcolm X were speaking directly to them. Haley also influenced
    some of Malcolm X's literary choices and Haley's proactive censorship of antisemitic
    material significantly influenced the ideological tone of the Autobiography,
    increasing its popularity although distorting Malcolm X's public persona. A New
    York Times reviewer described it as a "brilliant, painful, important book" and Time
    named it in 1998 as one of ten "required reading" nonfiction books. A screenplay
    adaptation provided the source material for Spike Lee's 1992 film Malcolm  X.
