The Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center — Attraction in New York

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...

What an incredible and deeply moving experience visiting the Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center. This place is truly sacred ground - you can feel the weight of history and the power of Brother Malcolm's legacy the moment you walk in.

Standing in the very spot where Malcolm X was assassinated was overwhelming with emotion. It's impossible not to be moved by the gravity of what happened here and the tremendous loss the world suffered that day. Yet there's also something powerful about how this space has been transformed into a place of learning and remembrance.

The staff here are amazing. They're knowledgeable, passionate, and treat every visitor with such warmth and respect. You can tell they genuinely care about preserving and sharing Malcolm X's story and teachings.

The exhibits are powerful and well-curated. Whether you're already familiar with Malcolm X's journey or learning for the first time, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of his transformation and impact. The center does an excellent job of honoring both his legacy and Dr. Betty Shabazz's...

The Malcolm X Shabazz Memorial is not a museum It's a place of grief and a place of hope, a place about beauty and a place about terror, and all the ways to fight it.

Don't expect any animation, don't expect any show here. This is a quiet place, almost a place of worship - the upstairs space is occasionally used as a mosque.

The Shabazz Memorial is a powerful place where one can feel the soul of Brother Malcolm and the pain he endured to help get us all where we are.

At the exact spot Malcolm X was standing when he died, now stands an elegy of him, a well crafted bronze statue.

I left flowers at his feet, bowed, and sat there silently for a while.

Yes. You can...
