Original - Malcolm X, photographed in 1964
 
Edit 1
Reason
Good scan of an encyclopedic, PD portrait of a recent historical figure (most of our FPs of images are much older because of the difficulty in obtaining more recent PD photographs)

Malcolm X, List of converts to Islam
Creator
Ed Ford, World Telegram staff photographer (but it's PD, see image page)
Not my photo; not my thunder. Do what you will. Spikebrennan (talk) 05:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All right then. Filled in the blank strip at upper right, got rid of artifacts (and please don't ever upload another houndstooth jacket). Then while adjusting the levels the thought came to mind, how black should I make Malcolm X? I hope this is suitable. DurovaCharge! 10:44, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is fine. Making him any blacker or less black doesn't make a difference to his historic significance. Samsara (talk  contribs) 20:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit 1 - slightly better due to enhanced contrast and removal of some minor flaws. Matt Deres (talk) 12:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
