Malcolm Little/Malcom X is one of those people. In the top right corner in the area backed by the Black Lives Matter matting is a sign that stands in the entry way of the Malcolm X Center. Mrs. Rowena Moore was the Founder of the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation (1971) used her own monies to stage events commemorating his birth and death.
