Malcolm was born in Omaha, Nebraska, but his family moved to Lansing, Michigan, soon after his birth. There don't exist many pictures of his childhood as far as I know. Pictures of his years in school can be found in Bruce Perry's "MALCOLM". Only a few photographs of his youth are included in "Malcolm X - The great pothographs".

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was the head of the Nation of Islam, a strictly disciplined Black Muslim sect.

Police lead Reuben Francis, 33, away from the police station after he was charged with felonious assault and illegal possession of a pistol.
Police said Francis, a follower of Malcolm X, shot and wounded another man, Talmadge Hayer, at the rally where Malcolm was killed.
Heyer was also charged with homiciode in the death of Malcolm X.

After the shooting, which occured in a second-story ballroom, two Black men were seized as the gunmen.

Visitors to the funeral home housing the body of Malcolm X had to submit to intense searches by police as does this gentleman who came to pay his last respects to the fallen leader.

Well-known and respected actor Ossie Davis gave the eulohy for Malcolm X at the funeral services held in the Faith Temple of God In Christ
in Harlem on February 27, 1965.
Ossie called Malcolm a "brave and gallent young champion." Malcolm's widow, Betty, is seated second from the left in the pew facing the open casket.
