DAUGHTERS OF MALCOLM X AT PRESS CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK, 2003-01-07 (photo)

Attallah Shabazz (R) and Malaak Shabazz, two of the six daughters of the late Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz, sit together beneath two portraits of their late father during a news conference at the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York, January 7, 2003. The Shabazz family was announcing a long-term deposit of a large collection of Malcolm X's diaries, photos, letters and other materials (including the portraits seen here) to the Schomburg center. The documents placed on deposit with the Schomberg Center include those that were originally offered for sale by Butterfields Auctioneers. The Shabazz family was recently able to secure the ownership rights to the materials. REUTERS/Mike Segar MS/MMR
