June 23, 1997 — Malcolm X's widow Betty Shabazz passed away today 🕊️

Born Betty Dean Sanders, she was an educator, civil rights advocate and the wife of Malcolm X.

Dr. Shabazz grew up in Detroit, Michigan, where her foster parents largely sheltered her from racism. She attended the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where she had her first encounters with racism. Unhappy with the situation in Alabama, she moved to New York City, where she became a nurse.

It was in New York that she met Malcolm X. The couple married in 1958.

Along with her husband, Dr. Shabazz left the Nation of Islam in 1964. She witnessed his assassination the following year.

MEMORIALS:
•In late 1997, the Community Healthcare Network renamed one of its Brooklyn, New York, clinics the Dr. Betty Shabazz Health Center, in honor of Shabazz.

•The Betty Shabazz International Charter School was founded in Chicago, Illinois, in 1998 and named in her honor.

•In 2005, Columbia University announced the opening of the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center. The memorial is located in the Audubon Ballroom, where Malcolm X was assassinated.

•In March 2012, New York City co-named Broadway at the corner of West 165th Street, the corner in front of the Audubon Ballroom, Betty Shabazz Way.

When Nikki Haley’s father couldn’t find a job as a college professor at a PWI because of his ethnicity, Voorhees College (an HBCU) hired him. Her mother sold dresses and had a largely Black clientele. I know b/c my grandmother was a customer. Black people saved her family…

@SwacBuzz @HBCUSports Another factor is many kids in this draft have been drafted off of pedigree or have been in the network of someone with pedigree.

@kzah500 @yardtalkhbcu Don't forget to add the years and decades prior to the founding of each school.

19 year old Frank Embree was tortured, castrated, skinned and then lynched in front of a cheering crowd, for a crime he didn’t commit in 1899. Though published photographs clearly depicted the faces of his assailants, no one was ever arrested. BlackHistorymonth
