A panel talks about the legal and cultural issues surrounding the fate of these papers, which offer insight into Malcolm X’s evolving thoughts on race, culture and society.
Guests
- James Early Director of cultural heritage policy at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage
- Dr. Catherine Willimason Director for fine books and manuscripts at Butterfield's, a West Coast auction house
- Karl Evanzz Washington Post news staff; author, "The Judas Factor: The Plot to Kill Malcolm X" (Thunder's Mouth)
