"February 22, 1965 (El Paso Times)"

The El Paso Times, 46 years ago this day.  "A fusilade of gunfire cut down the fiery Negro extremist, Malcolm X, as he rose to address a rally Sunday in an upper Manhattan ballroom.  At least five men were believed to have sprung the fatal ambush, after lurking amid the ranks of 500 of his disciples."

I was doing some research on El Paso's history one evening at the downtown library when I decided to see what it was that local papers had reported the day after Malcolm was assassinated.
