| Many radical organizations of the 1960s and 1970s regarded Malcom X as a hero. One of the more militant of these groups was the Black Panther organization, which advocated Black Power through black self-reliance and, if necessary, violence. In this photograph, a Black Panther member peers from behind a door riddled with bullet holes, but next to a poster advertising the Panther’s free breakfast program for children. In his later years, Malcolm X turned away from violence as a means of change, but continued to preach for black self-help and an end to racial injustice. |
