Red Block — Malcolm X Series IV

The boldest Malcolm X print: solid blocks of deep red build the figure and his raised hand, set against a storm of slate and steel gray. Graphic, confident and impossible to ignore. A true statement piece.

The story

Malcolm X (1925–1965) was a minister and human rights activist and one of the most powerful speakers of the civil rights era. Photographs of him at the podium, hand lifted to make a point, are among the defining images of the 1960s. His life story, told in The Autobiography of Malcolm X (written with Alex Haley), is still read around the world today.
