The Official Website of Malcolm X--This is the estate-endorsed official source of information of Malcolm's life and times. This site includes a biography, a timeline, an extensive quotes page (with several sections to find the quotes you're looking for), the Ossie Davis euology, and a library of various printed sources pertaining to Malcolm's life (with links to Amazon.com for their purchase).

Malcolm X: A Research Site - This truly lives up to its name. This site contains volumes of information that can be used to study Malcolm's history, words, and legacy. There are documents that appear to be original and scanned, on this site, audio files that even I haven't heard before, webibliographies that are extremely extensive, and other features. Just be careful of the links for speeches that contain url's outside of the parent site - many of them are problematic. Date visited - 10/1/03. http://www.brothermalcolm.net/index.html
Purdue University Bibliography - This site contains a good printed bibliography for seriously studying Malcolm. Date visited - 10/1/03 http://www.purdue.edu//bcc/library/malcolm.htm
FBI File on Malcolm X - Under the Freedom of Information Act, Malcolm's file was released a number of years ago, and many scholars have since perused these documents. Now, people have access to them online via .pdf download. Date visited - 10/1/03. http://foia.fbi.gov/malcolmx.htm
Teacher's Guide to the Autobiography of Malcolm X - This guide, written by Rosalyn McPherson Andrews, provides many ideas to approach Malcolm, the book, and the issues he addressed and/or lived in a myriad of ways. More than just reading, she's focusing students on geography lessons as he travels, sociology lessons when it concerns race relations, current events, political aspects, debate (do you agree with him or not?), and others. Her page doesn't present various particular activities and assignments in great detail, but it raises many good ideas and provides you with tips on how one can approach him. This would be very good for a person who isn't quite familiar with Malcolm, or for those who aren't quite sure how to approach the subjects he engenders.

X is for Malcolm - This site contains numerous notable quotes from Malcolm's speeches and interviews. It also contains several links that are important to studying the history of Malcolm as well, including perspective essays by scholars and Islamic faithfuls. Finally, there is also a tribute to Malcolm's widow, Dr. Betty Shabazz, along with links to various sites. Date visited - 10/2/03. http://www.brothermalcolm.net/archivedsites/hotx.htm
Malcolm X.org--This is a site constructed by an Indo-Pakistani Muslim living in Canada. This person is drawn to the life of Malcolm primarily due to religious convictions (many of the documents and recordings he links are labeled, "before true Islam" and "after the Nation of Islam"), but also from historical and social perspectives as well. He has speeches, recordings, important links, but finally an extensive photo gallery which is quite impressive. These are large black and white photos that could be used for a number of purposes, educational-wise of course. Date visited--10/2/03. http://www.malcolm-x.org/index.html
Malcolm X in general--This is a Microsoft internet search site focused on Malcolm and Black History. It contains a general biography, along with links to key signatures of information such as black nationalism and the Nation of Islam. It contains a small bibliography for the viewer's perusal, and audio/video clips. These clips are of events and speeches that I haven't seen on other sites, so it's good to view them here. But, there are only two. Date visited--10/2/03. http://search.eb.com/blackhistory/micro/370/6.html
The Unpublished Malcolm--One of Malcolm's famous letters after the Hajj, this one to author Alex Haley, describes his experiences, his evolving philosophies on Islam, whites, and how to deal with the crises affecting African Americans in the U.S. However, the reporter interviews the person who acquired this letter at auction, and deals with the previously unpublished sections of the letter that deal with rectifying certain statements and beliefs attributed to Malcolm in various books, films, and discussions.

Africana.com--This is a source for African-centered news, information, and research. If one would search within their engine for Malcolm x, there are a number of contemporary articles that focus on Malcolm so that the researcher can achieve a modern perspective from programs and those who, either, knew him or wrote about him.
