http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2002-03-13/malcolm-x-papers
An auction house announced it will sell papers and other materials belonging to charismatic activist Malcolm X. But scholars say the papers must remain public because of their historic importance. A panel talks about the legal and cultural issues surrounding the fate of these papers, which offer insight into Malcolm X's evolving thoughts on race, culture and society.
