William Galvin and the Massachusetts Historical Commission have added the childhood home of
Malcolm X to the National Registry of Historic Places. According to Galvin, it is the only residence that remains from the civil rights icon s time in the Boston area. While in Boston, he went by the name
Malcolm Little. He lived with his half-sister
Ella Little-Collins and spent time exploring the city. Unfortunately, he was arrested in the city of Boston and charged with larceny. Fortunately, his time in prison led him to the Nation of Islam and his historic civil-rights career.
Malcolm X s nephew,
Rondell, said that the family hopes to open up the house to the public. He believes the home can be split into a museum and housing for graduate students studying Black history. As a result of the house s recent designation, the family will have access to tax incentives and funding that will help them achieve their goals.
