It’s known that Malcolm X often influenced the way photographers working with him took photos. And from numerous photos of Malcolm X he almost always had his Nikon, King Regula 111c, or Bell and Howell 70dr. He stated he carried them to collect “evidence” or visual proof of the productivity of the Black Muslims... But what happened to all of those photos and film?
After much discussion with some colleagues we have come to the conclusion it’s very possible many or most of the photos taken by Malcolm X could have been destroyed when his house was firebombed.
This is an informative thread :) thanks all!
