Malcolm X was assassinated in the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights 55 years ago this Friday.
Every year The Shabazz Center, which now occupies the historic location at 3940 Broadway, holds a special commemoration.
Among other details, the educational space features a statue of Malcolm X in the lobby and a podium that marks the exact spot where the murder took place upstairs.
This year's remembrance includes something new: a screening of the recently released six-part Netflix documentary "Who Killed Malcolm X," a fresh look at his death and the subsequent investigation.
The screening will be followed by a discussion moderated by Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
The event is from 6pm to 8pm, but those who want to guarantee a seat should come early.
