1968 · Short film · 4 min
Synopsis
One of a series of short films produced in 1969 by Charles Grinker and Mert Koplin, "Which Way USA -- Black Views on Race" provided brief portraits of many African American leaders including Martin Luther King, Cassius Clay, James Brown, Bobby Seale, and others. This episode features Malcom X (1925-1965), originally named Malcolm Little. Malcolm X was a leader of the Nation of Islam and a prominent proponent of African American racial pride and Black nationalism, whose voice served as a counterpoint to that of Dr. Martin Luther King. He was assassinated in 1965. His book, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, remains influential. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k.
