It is Black History Month people! Did you know that Washington Heights boasts a world class educational and cultural space dedicated to the late great Malcolm X and his valiant fight for civil and human rights? The Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center (3940 Broadway) is an Uptown Gem that everyone Uptown and all of New York City, for that matter, should visit ASAP. To sweeten the deal, from now until March 30th, you can catch the Smithsonian’s incredible IndiVisible exhibit that explores the intermingling of the Native and African American communities, their legacies and their enduring cultures. African-American giants such as Jimi Hendrix and Zora Neale Hurston as well countless others had indigenous ancestors. So you have your marching orders, please stop by the Shabazz Center before the month is over.
