File information
Description	Low-res scan of a famous political poster from the 1960s, depicting Malcolm X peering through window shades while holding an M1 carbine, with the slogan "Liberate our minds by any means necessary."
Source	The source photograph is from Ebony magazine — Image:Malcolmxm1carbine3gr.gif. The author of the poster appears to be unknown; the University of Virginia's Center for the Study of Political Graphics lists it as "no date, author unknown." [1] In any case, it is asserted that the compositing of the LIFE image with a popular 1960s political slogan does not contain original authorship and is not eligible for copyright.
Date	The photograph was taken within year-to-date of February 21, 1965. Known to have been published in "Memorable Photos from the Ebony files". Ebony Magazine. Johnson Publishing Company. 40 (6): 146a. April 1985. ISSN 0012-9011. May have been published earlier. It was not published in the september 1964 issue of Ebony or any March 1964 issue of life.
