Spike Lee’s Malcolm X was chosen by the Library of Congress as one of the 25 films that will be preserved in its National Film Registry.

Spike Lee’s Malcolm X

The 1992 classic film depicts the life of the civil rights leader with a star cast and epic cameos including Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett, and Nelson Mandela.

There are over 500 films in the Registry, but this is definitely one African Americans should be excited about. Nestled beside other great classic, Spike’s can now forever be preserved and celebrated. -Niki McGloster
