Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío reveals a little-known moment in history: the only documented meeting between Malcolm X and Che Guevara, during Guevara’s 1964 visit to New York. Cossío shares a personal link to the story, his own father served as interpreter for their conversation, and explains how myths about their relationship have persisted for decades. Their discussion, he says, centered not on the Cuban Revolution but on Africa’s liberation struggles and Malcolm X’s growing global vision for Black freedom. A rare glimpse into a historic encounter still misunderstood more than 60 years later.
