Malcolm X Signed Alex Haley Interview
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Malcolm X signed page from the celebrated ''Playboy'' profile interview by Alex Haley. This manuscript is a page from Haley's interview notes with Malcolm X, which Haley forwarded to him for his review. Malcolm X then signed each page to verify the accuracy of the transcription. Document noted as ''Page 14'' reads in part, ''Ten years ago you couldn't have paid a Southern Negro to defy Southern customs…all over the world the old day of standing in fear and trembling of the almighty white man is gone…'' This interview was conducted at a restaurant owned by the Black Muslims in Harlem and resulted in the book ''The Autobiography of Malcolm X.'' A publishing editor read the May 1963 ''Playboy'' interview and asked Malcolm X for a book of his life, which he accepted to do with Haley. Single page quarto carbon typescript, signed in ink, undated [1963]. In very good condition, matted with a page of the published interview.
