Malcolm X – In Remembrance

On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X was assassinated while addressing the Organization of Afro-American Unity at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City at 39 years old. 

Malcolm X’s legacy is remembered by those in America for his fight for Black nationalism and Black liberation. He is remembered around the world by Muslims for his conversion to Sunni Islam after leaving the Nation of Islam. His words about Islam, peace, and race hold meaningful weight and perspective about being a Black man in America.

Celebrating Life and Legacy of Malcolm X

Watch as we discuss the life and legacy of Malcolm X with Imam Khalid Griggs, Bill Fletcher Jr., and Aisha al-Adawiya.

During Black History Month, not only should we learn about Black Muslim History but also the history of the African American Struggle in the United States. Malcolm X was a prominent figure in the civil rights movement, and his life was full of stories and wisdom that we can all learn from.

 

The legacy of Rosa Park

Rosa Parks became a symbol of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s-1960s when she refused to give up her seat at the front of the bus for a white passenger in 1955, and was subsequently arrested. Black Americans boycotted public transportation for over a year after her arrest. The protest resulting from her actions resulted in a Supreme Court ruling that desegregated public transportation in Montgomery, Alabama.
