Did you know, Malcolm X, a global icon of civil rights, was born right here in Omaha on May 19, 1925? Yet, many Omaha residents only learn this later in life, if ever. At One Omaha, we believe that empowering people where they live starts with educating them about where they live. This May marks what would have been Malcolm X’s 100th birthday and our friends at the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation are honoring his legacy with a series of powerful events culminating in the MX100 Legacy Gala on 5/31. For more information about all the events and to register for events, visit mx100.org. 🎉 MX100 Legacy Gala 📅 Saturday, May 31 | 5–11 PM 📍 The Durham Museum, 801 S 10th St An evening of excellence, art and culture, featuring performances by Grammy Award-winning vocalist Lisa Fischer, poet Aja Monet, saxophonist Mike Phillips and more. Honorary Chair: Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X. Let’s honor Malcolm X’s legacy by learning, celebrating and building a more informed Omaha together. #MX100 #OmahaHistory #MalcolmX100 (fb)
