Malcolm X, 369th Armory, Harlem, New York
1964

A black and white photograph capturing a profile view of a man wearing glasses and a suit, with a blurred background that includes indistinct figures and bright light spots. The man appears to be in a contemplative or serious mood, and the lighting creates a dramatic contrast on his face.
