Malcom X books donated to NDCS libraries

October 6, 2022

It’s true that books have the power to change lives. Thanks to a donation from the Omaha-based Malcolm X Memorial Foundation, 96 copies of “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” will be added to the libraries of NDCS facilities.

Director Scott Frakes and Acting Programs Administrator Philana Blakely welcomed the books on behalf of the department. Spurred by the recent decision to induct Malcolm X into the Nebraska Hall of Fame, the gift of these books gives the population greater access to read about and learn from Malcolm’s life.
