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.

Another bit of trivia. Noah Robinson SR ( JJ’s biological father and MO’s uncle) was also a pro boxer. Noah JR is doing life for his involvement in the black street gang founded by a Mexican Drug cartel and converted to Islam in mass by FERRETCON
Said gang controlled the neighborhood/community that O organized
Tony Rezko managed his conversion? Rezko was only 9 years old when CC won the HW Title and officially, (or ‘came out’ I guess you could say. CC had been interested in islam for a few years prior to 1964 also), converted to islam in 1964. You must be thinking of someone else other than Tony Rezko as managing CC’s conversion to islam in 1964, Herbert Muhammad maybe?

How old would you say that young boy is in that photo?
Maybe about four or five years old, and tall for his age. It has been quite a while since I’ve been around young children, and may have forgotten their growth patterns. Your thoughts?
