EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Michael Malik, better known as Michael X, during the 1960s. As the founder of the Black Power Movement in the UK, he fearlessly fought for the rights and empowerment of black people. With his charismatic personality and unwavering determination, he garnered support from influential celebrities such as John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Born into a Roman Catholic family, Michael X underwent a profound transformation when he converted to Islam, adopting the name Michael Abdul Malik. This spiritual journey further fueled his passion for social justice and equality. Throughout the tumultuous decade that was the 1960s in Britain, Michael X played an instrumental role in shaping racial politics. However, despite his significant contributions to society, his story ultimately ended in disgrace. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that during this era marked by racial tensions and discrimination, Michael X's impact cannot be understated. This evocative image transports us back to circa 1965 when hope mingled with unrest on British streets. It serves as a reminder of both triumphs achieved and challenges faced by those who dared to challenge societal norms for a more inclusive future.
