My Thoughts on the Malcolm X Situation



My thoughts on the Malcolm X situation:

I believe that the solution is regarding the Malcolm X material is to
separate out the historical/research function from the artifact function:
i.e. to allow experts to make a high quality duplication of the materials
for study and evaluation at research institutions, and then let the original
artifacts be auctioned.

It appears that if the material were not purchased at an auction of stored
material, it would have gone into the dumpster and been gone forever.

In the way I suggest, everyone wins.
