Harlem Honors El Hajj Malik El Shabazz Minister Malcolm X

In celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Malcolm X, the 125th Street Business Improvement District has created this virtual tribute that captures the community event held to celebrate Malcolm X twenty five years ago. This is a digital photo pictorial of the historic celebration on 125th Street that took place in 2001.  We are honored to share these unseen photos and other tributes from some of Harlem’s greatest leaders.
