Malcolm X’s daughter discussed his legacy at National Civil Rights Museum
“My father introduced the human rights agenda to the civil rights movement,” Ilyasah Shabazz said. “My father’s evolution was not abandoning Black people and Black pride, but expanding it to embrace our full humanity, demanding recognition as human beings, inclusion in the human family.” (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian)
She spoke about her father, her mother and their legacies at the National Civil Rights Museum for a program called “Malcolm X at 100: A Conversation with Ilyasah Shabazz.”
