Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center occupies the historic Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights.
Interpretation connects the site of Malcolm X’s final speech with the lives and legacies of both figures.
Check the Shabazz Center’s current tour calendar and booking arrangements before arriving at Broadway. The photograph shows the historic entrance facade rather than a current gallery installation or an open tour session. Guided visits, educational programs and commemorative events follow different arrangements. Use the designated visitor entrance and confirm availability directly instead of assuming unrestricted access throughout the week.
