Which of the 3 authors for today did you enjoy reading most? Why? Any personal connections?

I really liked the three of them but my favorite one was the Malcolm X. The reason why is because, I found it interesting how he self-educated himself to read and write because he was frustrate for not being able to express himself and understand the story behind any book that he read. His motivation, inspires me to keep learning and pushing myself to the fullest. I wish he was still alive today and I wish I had the opportunity to talk to him about everything that he learned. It would be fine for me to sit and listen to him, for a while because at the end of the day, I know that I would be learning something.
