tom_byers Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 <p>Here's a stumper for the history buffs.</p> <p>Famous photo of Malcolm X, holding a Carbine rifle and peeking through drapes at a window.</p> <p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/62/Malcomxm1carbine3gr.gif" alt="" width="150" height="217" /></p> <p>Virtually every online source for this photo claims the image was from <strong>Life magazine, dated March 20, 1964.</strong></p> <p>The photo caption was <strong>"By Any Means Necessary."</strong></p> <p>We purchased this March 20, 1964 issue, and the photo is not in the magazine.</p> <p>Does anybody know the true origin of this iconic photgraph?</p> <p>Cheers, Tom & Dave<br> <a href="mailto:tekapo@golden.net">tekapo@golden.net</a></p> <p><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/62/Malcomxm1carbine3gr.gif"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/62/Malcomxm1carbine3gr.gif" alt="" width="150" height="217" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
