Funeral Program For Malcolm Shabazz Released
Funeral Program For Malcolm Shabazz Released
Two days after the birthday of iconic human rights leader, El-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz (Malcolm X), his grandson, Malcolm Shabazz, was buried next to him and his wife, Dr. Betty Shabazz, at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, NY, according to a statement released by Shabazz family spokesperson, Terrie Williams. NewsOne has obtained his funeral program.
“Malcolm Shabazz was laid to rest today, Tuesday, May 21, 2013, at 11:30 AM near his grandparents (Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz) at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, NY,” the statement reads. “He was surrounded by his mother Qubilah; his aunts–Attallah, Gamilah, Ilyasah, Malaak, Malikah, other family & very close friends. Surprise guest and friend, R&B recording artist, Jaheim, offered his condolences and sang acapella “I Miss You (For Moms)” from his 1st album entitled “Ghetto Love”. Malcolm and Jaheim met at a youth rally The Terrie Williams Agency hosted at a Queens Public Library many years ago.”
As previously reported by NewsOne, Shabazz died from vicious injuries sustained on May 9, 2013 in Mexico City, Mexico, during a brawl at the Palace bar near Plaza Garibaldi, reportedly a dangerous area for tourists.
Two Palace waiters, David Hernandez Cruz and Manuel Alejandro Perez de Jesus, have been charged with homicide.
Though that would be neat conclusion for law enforcement, Malcolm’s own words after being arrested and harassed by police en-route to a Hollywoodism conference in Iran allude to a more sinister reality:
In the beginning of 2012 I had been informed that I was under investigation by the F.B.I.’s Counter Terrorism Task Force Unit located in Goshen, N.Y.
…
The formula for a public assassination is: the character assassination before the physical assassination; so one has to be made killable before the eyes of the public in order for their eventual murder to then deemed justifiable. And when the time arrives for these hits to be carried out you’re not going to see a C.I.A. agent with a suit & tie, and a badge that says “C.I.A.” walk up to someone, and pull the trigger. What they will do is to out-source to local police departments in the region of their target, and to employ those that look like the target of interest to infiltrate the workings in order to set up the environment for the eventual assassination (character, physical/incarceration, exile) to take place.
In the days prior to Malcolm’s death, he posted two cryptic — and now arguably foreshadowing — Facebook update about his “powerful enemies” and “weird” messages:
Malcolm’s last Facebook status — one day prior to his death — was a picture of “The Last Supper.”
These updates, as well as the sketchy details surrounding his death have led some people to call for an investigation.
Though the circumstances of his death are tragic, young Malcolm’s legacy will love on.
Words from his absolutely beautiful funeral program tell his story with an honesty that is missing from a mainstream media more concerned with salacious details from his childhood. It speaks of his tireless activism, global humanitarianism, quest to end the modern-day slavery that is the Prison Industrial Complex, the building of Masjids around the country, as well as focusing on the quality of public education.
It tells the story of an emerging leader, a son, a friend, and a father taken away far too soon.
Our hearts continue to be with the Shabazz family during this most difficult time.

OPEN LINE PETITION
WBLS Pres Charles Warfield, VP Deon Levingston, Op Mgr Skip Dillard: Restore the length of Open Line to 2 hours & air it from 10am-noon
Open Line is a powerful source of information about the Black Community in the NYC region. Weekly, the hosts present information, news, progressive view points and educational topics of interest to for people of color. The program is now streamed live online, and can be heard by anyone with an Internet connection. Supporters engage the program's hosts via Social Media platforms and by telephone call ins. It's urgently important to have relevant, community based topics discussed on the radio. Those two hours represent only .01% of the on air time of the station. The remaining 166 hours are primarily filled with entertainment content of comparatively insignificant content and value, with the exception of religious content for those who choose to hear it. The assault on Black Talk Radio silences voices and thought that are significant to our community. We urge the Network to restore Open LIne's air time to 2 hours, and move it back to its 10am to noon time slot. To: WBLS Pres Charles Warfield, VP Deon Levingston, Op Mgr Skip Dillard Restore the length of Open Line to 2 hours & air it from 10am-noon Sincerely, | ||
