This place is a lot smaller than I thought. The downstairs does not have much and the upstairs is a big room with a couple of murals and several displays with Malcolm X quotes.
The center director, Brian, is very accommodating and knowledgeable .
Great place to visit. Take a picture with Malcolm X.

The statue isn't where the original podium was. Go to the 2nd floor, to the pillar closest to the window. midway in room-we need a plaque !!!
Go to the 2nd floor. Pillar closest to window, midway point in the room NEEDS TO BE a plaque marking where Malcolm stood that fateful day.

This used to be the site of the Audubon Ballroom which is better known as where Malcom X was assassinated on February 21, 1965. This is now a memorial.

Quaint little museum for some history lessons. 30 - 45 minute experience at most. A good destination to get out of the more dense parts of Manhattan. - Kyle Fowler
Surprisingly great! The chandelier is fascinating. Exhibitions are carefully curated. It's much less crowded so quite enjoyable. Guided tours are at 3pm - WEI WEI
A smaller museum, has some great exhibits housed in a beautiful building. Worth a visit. Lovely restaurant attached. - Chris R (thechristophe)
