| Malcom X helped to establish a newspaper called Muhammad Speaks, which became the Nation of Islam’s main means of spreading information about its views. In this photograph a Black Muslim in New York City sells a copy of the newspaper with headlines demanding justice for African Americans. During the early 1960s when this photo was taken, racial discrimination had become a volatile issue. Malcolm X took a more militant stand than Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam, and eventually Malcolm X left to form his own organization. |
