WELCOME TO THE SHABAZZ CENTER

“I’m for truth no matter who tells it. I'm for justice no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being first and foremost; and as such, I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole." -MALCOLM X

Our Mission

The Shabazz Center is a cultural and educational institution that harnesses the legacies of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz to incubate social, racial, and global justice movements. Our physical space memorializes the humanitarian efforts and martyrdom of Malcolm X, and embodies the educational vision of Dr Betty Shabazz. We partner with community organizers and educators, and facilitate cultural activations meant to catalyze the next generation of leaders in the movement for racial equity and global justice.

Our Vision

As a multi-faceted memorial and cultural institution, The Shabazz Center understands that community-led organizations with strong values are critical to social change and positive identity formation. That is why we build youth leadership within the greater New York City community, and have fortified our commitment to civic engagement and cultural programming. The Shabazz Center upholds our values through global citizenship, cultural programming, and radical scholarship. We understand these mediums as critical tools that allow for communities to wrestle with our present realities, and do the work of building a new, more sustainable future.
