I would of never in my mind think that a person could write this kind of book it is almost like Betty Shabazz is saying tell my story Tell them I feel really glad that I purchased this wonderful work All women should read it

This book is not only an informative and revealing biography of one of America's hero's, Dr. Betty Shabazz. This is also a historical biography of a remarkable woman. Most informative is the likeness and kinship many woman can identify with especially struggling mothers, aunts,and grandmothers who find themselves trying to raise young boys alone. Often without the assistance of fathers, grandfathers, and positve male role-models.

Hers not only is the story of being Mrs. Malcolm X, Dr. Betty Shabazz, but also tragically grandmother/mother/counselor to our often time rebellious and misunderstood young black males searching for their fathers and father figures.

But in the mist of this tragic situation her family can and must relish in the life of this remarkable, remarkable Queen Mother Betty.....

Mr. Rickford gives us just that in this important piece of literature.

a very interesting, gripping story. you won't be able to put it down. it's about time the black woman's side of things got its due.

I received the book two weeks ago and finished it in four days. This is a well written, very informative insight into the life of Dr. Shabazz. She was a powerful woman, who did her best to protect her daughters from the evils of the world. Some might say that she sheltered them to much, but who can tell a mother that she's being overprotective of her babies? Against all odds she survived, her support system was outstanding, her vision was remarkable. I enjoyed every moment of this book.

This book gives a lot of insight as well as details from Betty's perspective. At times you feel like you're reading from an autobiography.

This is a telling story of a giant of a woman. One who held down a man who showed a entire nation of people how to walk upright after 150+ years of beggin and stratching for crumbs. Dr. Betty Shabazz, the total essence of beauty combined with strength.

I have yet to read this book. But the book is in good condition.
