Remembering Malcolm X

Malcolm X was a central figure in the American Civil Rights movement. As a leader in the Nation of Islam during the late 1950s and early 1960s he confronted the more moderate approaches of other civil rights figures of this era. He’s remembered for advocating for justice “by any means necessary” and for forming the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) to promote human rights for African Americans. We at Nate D. Sanders Auctions have sold some excellent Malcolm X signed letters. Please contact us if you’d like a free appraisal or would like to sell your Malcolm X autograph.
