MALCOLM X (n?e LITTLE, Malcolm (1925-1965)). Original Mugshot of a Young Malcolm Little, Before His Conversion to Islam. Boston: Boston Police Department, November 29, 1944. Black and white mugshot with profile and front face of Little (front face shot with Little wearing a fedora hat and with the unobscured arrest slate, ?Boston Police / 65213 / 11 29 44"). Approximately 3 x 5". Mild edgewear, verso blank. Fine. Accompanying this mugshot is a ?Boston Police Department Photographic File" index card, Form 1361 (not filled-out). Fine.THIS MUGSHOT IS A FAMOUS IMAGE; IMAGES OF THIS MUGSHOT ARE WIDELY AVAILABLE, BUT THEY OBSCURE THE ARREST SLATE INFORMATION, WHICH IS VISIBLE HERE. This mugshot came from the personal collection of a retired Boston Police detective. Malcolm X lived with his sister in Boston from ages 14 to 21 (his age in this mugshot is 20) and embarked on a criminal career. This mugshot was from an arrest for larceny. It was soon after this mugshot was taken that he was arrested again and sentenced to eight to ten years for larceny and other crimes. In 1947, he was transferred to the Norfolk Prison Colony, where he developed a fierce appetite for reading and civil rights, converted to Islam, and reached out to Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. It was this time in prison where he first became the towering figure, Malcolm X.Measurements: 6"L x 5"W x 1"H.
