Rose — Malcolm X Series V

Layered blocks of raspberry and rose form Malcolm X's figure and raised hand over drifting clouds of gray and cream. Warmer and softer than its siblings, with the same strong, graphic shape.

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.
