NEW YORK (AP) — Activists, actors and politicians gathered Saturday in New York City to honor civil rights leader Malcolm X with a ceremony at the Harlem site where he was killed 50 years ago.
About 300 people converged to hear remarks from one of Malcolm X's six daughters, Ilyasah Shabazz, as well as elected officials. The ceremony was held at the Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center, formerly known as the Audubon Ballroom.
A blue light shone onto the floor in the exact spot where he was killed. A mural with images of Malcolm X adorned a wall.

Three members of the Nation of Islam were convicted of murder in his death.So black on black murder is not a new phenomenon.
So another muzzie went off to meet "allah" 50 years ago..feh.

Wasn’t it Elijah Muhammad that had Malcolm X killed?
Where is Farrakhan on all this?

I’m surprised that Barack Mohammed Obama didn’t attend.
Isnt he “all about” diversity” and the America’ “rich” “Muslim Heritage”?
These “folks” were celebrating the life and death of a “historic figure” and Obies nowhere to be seen! My oh my!

So many honors for a man who NEVER stepped into the realm of the Klan or walked down a road in the South.
Just exactly WHAT did he do?

A hundred people and this is news. 5,000 turn up for a tea party and not a peep.
Just another example of the biased corrupt press.

"full name was El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" Actually his real name was Malcolm Little.
I still don't understand why everybody calls him Malcolm Ten.

Frankly, I prefer Malcolm X to Obama. More honest. Yup. He also excoriated black folks for being chumps for repeatedly voting Democrat when the Democrats don't do anything for them and called on them to clean up social pathologies within their own community.

ironically Mr X was killed because he was breaking from the Black Muslim line actually starting to lighten up on his hatred of non Blacks and Black supremacy....other words for going from hardliner to moderate
