Malcolm X, shown here in 1964, appears alongside Jesse Gray, the Harlem tenant organizer who led the rent strike that year against slum landlords. The strike was one of several protests in Harlem that year, and Malcolm X, then breaking with the Nation of Islam, spoke publicly in support of such boycotts as a way for Black communities to press for better housing and schools. The photograph records a moment when a national figure lent his voice to local, grassroots action in New York, and it shows how closely civil rights and tenants' rights were linked in Harlem at the time.
