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 bring flowers.

What a fascinating place filled with important history. Above and beyond the history, the building itself is a gorgeous work of art. This is a gem in which I look forward to spending more time.

Good morning. Like everyone else in the world. I have an open heart and mind to the Work and Legacies of Sir. Malcolm X and his dear wife Dr Betty Shabazz. I had the pleasure of attending the commemorative ceremony on 2-21-2016. My prayers continually go up to God concerning the family and those they love. Sometimes it seems as if some.people expect them to be stoic and stiff fleshed. They're just people, who had parents that they love and miss so much. We love you! May God bless them.

Tô be at the exact place where Malcolm X was assassinated is very interesting And a life time experience

That was one of the most historical and uplifting exhibit and memorial I have ever seen. It was the high point of my New York visit. Being from Memphis Tn and my first trip to NYC it was an awesome experience. I will never forget the great feeling of walking in the place where Malcolm X spoke and walked. I love Harlem and NYC. THANKS

I was at the center this past week for a United Nations event that was excellent. The space itself is beautiful, there are statues, photos and multimedia exhibits as well I believe. Upstairs in the main room there is a large colorful mural depicting key moments in the life of Malcolm X.

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.

The Shabazz center is a must needed piece of history for us that know things need to evolve in order to seek justice!!!! THANK YOU brother Malcolm for the cost 🙏🏽 in seeking Justice on your part!!!

I learned Mr. X was a genius in his own right. Much more contributions are needed in preserving this monument.

Feeling honored to have been able to visit on yesterday! Yes, they are open. You have to go up to the second set of double doors and the nicest security guard will let you in. They are in the process of remodeling for upcoming events, so your patience and even donations I’m sure will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the visit!

Wonderful place to experience the energy and legacy of Malcolm X

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Experience 👍🏾🤴🏾👍🏾 Thanks To The Maintenance Brother A True King 👑🤴🏾 For Taking A Few Minutes Of His Time ( His Break ) To Break Down The History To Me Of What Every Drawing ( Picture ) On The Wall Meant, I Must Revisit Again 🙏🏾 R.i.p King Malcom 🙌🏾🕊⛅👑

Stunning huge mural on the life of Malcolm X, a life size statue of him, photos and other memorabilia on display as well.

Wish it had been open but to just see it was great

Great place to experience and to walk around in learning about Malcom X accomplishments and what he contributed to the world

When I visited, it was close and they did not answer to mail

This was such a waste of time. As per previous commenters - I was there during advertised hours and made the trek all the way up, only to find the doors locked. What a joke. Too bad since it would have been interesting/enjoyable to learn more about Malcolm.
