Visible image 238 x 168 mm, Schatt's studio stamps and signature to verso, slight blemish at Malcolm X's temple, matted and framed.
Captured on June 20, 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. Schatt's studio stamps and signature to verso.
