    black and white photo of Malcolm X, at three microphones, head tilted upward, clean-shaven with closely cropped hair and eyeglasses, wearing a light gray-toned suit or sports coat, white shirt, and dark tie.

    Malcolm X during his fateful year of 1964—the year marked by his formal break with the Nation of Islam and his pilgrimage to Mecca.
