Gov. Kathy Hochul renames Central Park subway station after civil rights revolutionary Malcolm X

New York Governor Kathy Hochul made an important announcement during Harlem Week by renaming a Central Park subway station after the legendary civil rights leader, Malcolm X. The station, previously known as 110 St-Central Park North, will now be called 110 St-Malcolm X Plaza to honor Malcolm X’s legacy. He was a significant figure in the Harlem community, residing there for many years.

This year’s Harlem Week celebration also commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Harlem Renaissance, a pivotal period following the Great Migration. During this time, Harlem became a safe haven for 175,000 black residents seeking refuge from the discrimination and segregation prevalent in the South.

Governor Hochul expressed her sentiments, stating, “One of the best ways to celebrate the rich history and community of Harlem is to recognize the contributions of Malcolm X and the Harlem Renaissance to New York and to the world. Harlem has been a beacon of progress in our nation for generations, from civil rights movements to groundbreaking cultural influences.”

Malcolm X, known for his advocacy for black nationalism and empowerment, played a crucial role in the Civil Rights Movement. He was a staunch supporter of racial separation and criticized Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolent approach. However, after a transformative pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964, Malcolm X renounced separatism and embraced a more inclusive ideology.

Despite their differing strategies, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. shared a mutual respect for each other’s work. They met briefly in 1964 during a Senate discussion on civil rights, just months before Malcolm X’s tragic assassination in Manhattan.

Malcolm X’s daughter, Ilyasah Shabazz, reflected on her father’s continual evolution and dedication to learning and growth. His legacy lives on in various parts of Harlem, including the Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market and the Malcolm Shabazz Plaza.
