Why Did Malcolm X Wanted To Tell His Story?

I think Malcolm X wanted to tell his story because he wanted to tell people his life story and what he went through his good and bad times. He also wanted to show people about his life in jail and when he converted into islam. I feel like that people reading his book will understand what he went through in his life especially the hard and tough part of his life. Malcolm X telling his story so people realize what type of person he is and not what people picture him as. So this is why i think Malcolm X wanted to tell his story to people can see who he is and his journey he went thought too.
