On this day we work toward making a real effort to do better , to have more impact and to improve the conditions of our community.   We do so for our future and in honor of Malcolm X!

If it’s just light showers here and there, the event will still be held inside of The Community Empowerment Zone.

No, the Malcolm X Day Celebration is not religious by any means.  It is a celebration for a great man who devoted his life to progress & truth, a great man that gave his life for what he believed and those whom he loved. 

Malcolm X for at least part(s) of his life considered himself Muslim, but these events aren’t about his religious practices or beliefs, but instead are about his commitment to his community and their progress.

We invite all members of the community whatever your religion to stand with us for UNITY, PROGRESS & JUSTICE.
