The Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center

Assalamu alaykum,

We are a French family relocated in Maryland since almost 3 years. We came to New York in vacation for few days. On Tuesday July 25th we came at 5 pm the center was closed.

In your website there were two different opening hours and different opening days. MONDAY to FRIDAY 10 to 5 pm (At the bottom of the main page) and TUESDAY to FRIDAY 11 to 6 pm (Plan your visit).

A sign in the center stated 10 to 4 pm TUESDAY to THURSDAY.

No accurate information just about opening days and hours!

Nethermind, on Wednesday I called someone asked me how many people we are, our planning time of visit and said he will make sure someone will be there on Thursday at that time. When we arrived at around 1pm the center was closed again! There were two men for repairing.

I understand you might have a shortage of staff but you could at least give accurate information about days and times for visit. If we need to make an appointment during your availabilities that is fine but respect your words!

We were REALLY disappointed by such lack of professionalism and of organization. We plan to visit the African American museum in DC but it will not be the same. We wanted to stand where Malcolm X was killed, see the ballroom and remember him.

I hope you will fix these issues that is really a shame.
