Strivers Row

In the summer of 1943, amidst the vibrant yet tense atmosphere of Harlem during World War II, two young men from starkly different backgrounds—Malcolm Little, a troubled teenager on the verge of becoming the iconic Malcolm X, and Rev. Jonah Dove, a minister grappling with a crisis of faith—meet in a life-altering encounter. As they navigate the challenges of a neighborhood rife with racial strife and personal demons, their journeys toward self-discovery and the fight for civil rights unfold, leading to fateful choices that will impact their lives and their community. Completed by Kevin Baker, "Strivers Row" is an evocative addition to the "City of Fire" trilogy, offering a bold exploration of a pivotal moment in American history.
