[MALCOLM X (1925-1965)]. SCHATT, Roy (1919-2002). Silver gelatin photograph of Malcolm X. New York, 1964.

8 x 10 in. silver gelatin photograph (few light smudges to left margin, otherwise very fine condition). Schatt's studio stamps and signature to verso.

Captured in 1964 when Malcolm X was a guest on the Long John Nebel Show on WOR Radio in New York City. During the program, Malcolm X, Nebel, and 3 other guests discussed African American identity, the effectiveness of protests, subconscious racial bias, and racial terminology with Malcolm X noting that the term "white" is not a just a description of skin color, but a word implying attitudes and privileged class. Photographer Schatt documented the popular radio show and its guests for over 17 years, capturing at least 4 images of Malcolm X.
