As an outspoken Black man, Muslim faith minister, and human rights activist during the height of legalized segregation in the United States, it’s unsurprising that Malcolm X’s beliefs ruffled many feathers. His advocacy for Black empowerment and community strengthening led to a broader movement and an enlightening period for many Americans, and his highly recognizable image ensures in popular culture today, from music to fashion to art. In this episode of the Second Draft Project, Zoe Trask and Jen Byers are on the ground at Leimert Park Farmers Market in Los Angeles to find out how Malcolm X's legacy lives on, particularly in the world of revolutionary apparel.
