Additional Description

General

caption on photograph verbatim including any misspellings states: "Malcolm X in dark coat, leader of a Negro separationist group, talks to a reporter outside his home 2/14 after a fire bomb was thrown into his house during the night. Malcom and his family were unharmed by the attack but his home was badly damaged; wreckage litters the ground outside (R). Malcom, who broke with the Black Muslim organization, just laughed when asked about the motive for the attack." UPI Telephoto.
