Malik Ali Ibn Rasheed Shabazz is helming this project - the grandchild of Bearcat - and he promises an "inspiring and entertaining" read. Not only will this be an excellent opportunity to learn about an important figure in history, but it will also serve as a celebration of black excellence and resilience in the face of adversity.
