“You get your freedom by letting your enemy know that you’ll do
anything to get it!”…Malcolm X
May 25, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEMORIAL FOR JEAN REYNOLDS, COURAGEOUS MALCOLM X LOYALIST
On Monday, May 31st, Jean Reynolds-Turner, one of the founding members
of the Malcolm X Commemoration Committee, will be memorialized by her
family, comrades and friends.
This memorial will be held at The Shabazz Center, 3940 Broadway, from
2-6pm.
Sister Jean, as she was affectionately known, passed away several
weeks ago in North Carolina. She was one of Malcolm’s most loyal
followers. She was one of the few women to leave the Nation Of Islam
with Malcolm and join both of his successive organizations, Muslim
Mosque Inc. and the Organization of AfroAmerican Unity. She was with
her leader and her minister right until the end on that fateful day,
February 21, 1965, when he was assassinated. A lifelong Harlem
resident, she relocated several years ago to North Carolina.
“Little is written about the women who dared to stand with Malcolm,
and they are an incredible mix. None came more brave and more loving
than our beloved Queen mother Jean Reynolds,” said Zayid Muhammad, the
Committee’s press officer.
