The legendary photos of Malcolm X aka El Hajj Malik el Shabazz will forever be etched in the pages of American history. In one photo, a Japanese woman holds his head as his spirit left his body.

She lived an extraordinary life that was intertwined with the Black human rights struggle and the Black Power Movement.
