Full Bio: The Dead Are Arising

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 28, 2020

We launched our Full Bio series with The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X. Investigative journalist Les Payne spent 28 years working on the book, but died before it could be completed. We first aired our conversation with his daughter Tamara Payne, who was his chief research on the project and finished the book, in five parts. Now you can hear the full conversation about this National Book Award-winning biography!
