The exhibit highlights the life and legacy of Malcolm X. “NECESSARY!” takes a different approach to teaching the legacy of Malcolm X in America through original letters, handbills, photographs, newspapers, magazines, figurines and other memorabilia. The artifacts are displayed chronologically starting with items from slavery that build a context around what produced a revolutionary mind such as Malcolm X in America. The display ends with Malcolm X's influence on today’s conscious voices in hip hop culture.
Highlights of the exhibit include one page from the Alex Haley typewritten interview with Malcolm X for Playboy magazine signed by Malcolm X; the original lynching photograph from Marion, Ind. that inspired the song "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holliday; an original letter written by Elijah Muhammad; and a handbill advertising Malcolm X speaking in Washington, D.C. Additionally, the display will feature Black Panther newspapers showing Malcolm X's influence and original hip hop artifacts from KRS One and Public Enemy.
In the afternoon of Feb. 19, Professor Griff, founder of hip hop group Public Enemy will lecture on Malcolm X's influence on Public Enemy as well as the group’s road to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His lecture will be from 1:15- 2:15 p.m. in HACC’s Gettysburg Campus’ Robert C. Hoffman Community Room.
