<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>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>
