February 22, 1965
THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, Massachusetts, Feb. 22, 1965 This is a very rare issue with an uncommonly dramatic front page reporting of the death of Malcolm X, the banner head noting: "NEGRO FANATIC MALCOLM X SLAIN" with a subhead: "Police Blame Assassination on Black Muslims" and more. There are also two related photos, one captioned: "Malcolm X Photograph Made Last Tuesday".
This is a very difficult event to find as most institutions were not keeping hard-copy newspapers at this time (typically went directly to microfilm) and loose issues of this event were rarely saved.
The article begins: "Malcolm X, bearded Negro advocate of violence against the whites in the civil rights struggle, was assassinated Sunday in a hail of gunfire while making a speech to his followers...".
The complete 26 page issue, in great condition.
