This film chronicles Malcolm X's remarkable journey from his birth on
May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska, to his assassination at the Audubon
Ballroom in New York City on February 21, 1965. His compelling story is
told through the memories of people who had close personal and working
relationships with him: prominent figures such as Maya Angelou, Ossie
Davis and Alex Haley; Nation of Islam associates, including Wallace D.
Muhammad, the son of Elijah Muhammad; and family members, including his
wife, Betty Shabazz, and his oldest daughter, Attallah Shabazz. Included
is extensive archival footage of Malcolm X, speaking in his own words at
meetings and rallies, and in media interviews.

we usually like to start not much after 9pm to allow for discussion
afterwards and a restful night of sleep etc.
we live at 40 Congress St which is close to AB Tech. going away from
downtown on Biltmore, turn right on Choctaw after the Ford dealership.
turn left on Congress. if you drive, please park a few houses down the
hill from my house where there is plenty of parking (the neighbors
prefer this).
