Malcolm X

In January 2003 a large collection of Malcolm X's diaries, photographs, letters, and other materials were placed on long-term deposit by the Estate of Betty Shabazz at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. While the papers will be available to researchers after approximately eighteen months of processing and preservation work is completed, The Malcolm X Collection: A Preview offers a glimpse into the viewpoints and personal reflections of the dynamic and vastly influential figure who spearheaded a vigorous fight for the rights of African Americans in the 1960s.
