This portrait embodies that philosophy—the thinking pose, the focused gaze, the intellectual intensity.

"If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary."

Malcolm lived and died for his principles. Display this canvas as a reminder of that level of commitment.

"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent."

Decades before "fake news," Malcolm understood narrative control.

The Legacy Continues

Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem. He was only 39 years old—younger than many people viewing this canvas. Yet in those 39 years, he transformed from street hustler to global revolutionary, from barely literate to brilliantly articulate, from narrow nationalism to inclusive humanism.

His final evolution—toward international human rights and Pan-Africanism—was cut short. But his voice still echoes: By any means necessary.
