MEET MRS. Malcolm X

Dr. Betty Shabazz was an educator and civil rights advocate, and was born on this date May 28, 1936. She grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and attended the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where she had her first encounters with racism.
She left Alabama to study at the Brooklyn State College School of Nursing in New York City. During her second year of nursing school, Betty was invited by an older nurse’s aide to a dinner party at the Nation of Islam temple in Harlem.
During her next visit to the temple, Sanders met Malcolm X, who was her friend’s minister. Betty began attending Malcolm X’s services. She converted in 1956, changing her surname to “X” to represent the loss of her African ancestry.
Betty and Malcolm X were married on January 14, 1958, in Michigan. The couple eventually had six daughters.
After the assassination of her husband Malcolm X, Shabazz never remarried and raised her six daughters alone. Shabazz completed an undergraduate degree at Jersey City State College, followed by a doctoral degree in higher education administration at the University of Massachusetts. She then accepted a position as an associate professor of health sciences at New York’s Medgar Evers College. She worked as a university administrator and fundraiser.
