Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I beleive your negatives came from United Press International. You would have to contact UPI to determine, but my guess is that they might not allow you to make commercial reprints (but ask) ... Realize that it is acceptable for your to make prints for your own personal use, whether to hand from your wall or to give as the odd present to a friend. I beleive it would be fine to print a photo to go along with the negative when you go to sell it ... The potential (I say potential as there has to be a copyright objector for there to be an objection) problem would arrise if you printed thousands to mass market.

Whether or not you own the rights to the image, your negatives are rare and desirable. Negatives in and of themselves are collectable.
