Malcolm X autograph letter signed from Tampa, Florida, postmarked 24 September 1958. Malcolm X writes to Gloria Owens, sister of Maceo X Owens, a prominent Nation of Islam member in New York. He writes, ''Greetings from the Deep South...from the Cotton fields to the Orange Groves, Islam is on the March. Malcolm X''. At this time, Malcolm X was speaking throughout the country after the incident of Hinton Johnson gained national attention. Johnson was badly beaten by police after he intervened on behalf of another black man who was being beaten by the same police; although the incident gained media attention, the officers were not prosecuted. Postcard measures 5.5'' x 3.5''. Very good plus condition, written in bold red pen.
