Malcolm X Birthsite

The Malcolm X Birthsite in North Omaha, Nebraska, marks the spot where the family of Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little, first lived after his birth in 1925. The original house was demolished in 1965, before the owners at the time learned of its historical significance. Today, a historical marker at 3448 Pinkney Street commemorates the site, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The grounds, which are owned by the Malcolm X Foundation, now include a community garden. The foundation also plans to expand the area into a park that will connect to neighboring Adams Park, honoring the historic site for the long term and making it accessible to the public.
