Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center

The Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center (The Shabazz Center) honors the lives and legacies of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz and Dr. Betty Shabazz. The Shabazz Center provides cultural, educational, and social programs designed to heighten awareness and further the cause of human rights globally. Malcolm X and Dr. Shabazz both championed the cause of human rights and social justice through a critical engagement with local, national and global issues that impacted the lives of people of African descent and other groups seeking self determination. In this spirit the Shabazz Center is committed to advancing this rich and relevant legacy of social change by empowering a new generation through an ongoing programmatic mission focused on current challenges and opportunities by way of leadership development, artistic engagement, economic empowerment, historical literacy and civic engagement to foster a more just world.
