life: May 19, 1925: Malcolm X is born. In 1960, LIFE magazine assigned Arnold, who died in January 2012 at the age of 99, to document the days and nights of Malcolm X, the controversial and intensely charismatic public face of the Nation of Islam. For nearly a year, she followed the thug-turned-devout Muslim and activist from Washington to New York to Chicago. (Eve Arnold—Magnum) See Eve Arnold’s photographs of Malcolm X here. Eve Arnold was SO BADASS. I grew up looking at a book my dad had of her work. I think she was my second photo hero (the first being my dad, of course).
