Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of civil and social rights icon Malcolm X, brought a spirit of justice, equity, and love to the St. Louis University Busch Student Center on January 18, 2024.

She shared with the audience a glimpse into her family’s lives as activists during the 12th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Tribute, hosted by SLU and the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis.

Shabazz said she strives to make her late parents proud through her role as Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Education Center chair. At the forefront is helping young people become more community-driven and civically engaged by providing them with the history of Civil Rights leaders.

Her mother insisted on teaching her children about the contributions of all who were and are a part of the African Diaspora.

“When you control that narrative, this allows everyone to appreciate the sacrifice and contributions [of Black people],” Shabazz told the audience. “We would not be able to call our country the leader of the free world [without us.”]

An award-winning author, Shabazz is also producing a series based on her latest book ‘The Awakening of Malcolm X.’

Malcolm X’s legacy and commitment to Black Supremacy didn’t die when he was assassinated on Feb. 21, 1965. It lives through his words, works, and wisdom, Malcolm X once said “If you’re not careful, the newspaper will have you hating the people who are oppressed, and loving people who are doing the oppressing.” That is why narrative and Revolutionary Black Media is so important and this same sentiment is echoed through his children who continue his work to this day.
