#BettyShabazz

[cartermagazine]

Today We Honor Betty Shabazz Educator, civil rights advocate and wife of Malcolm X grew up in Detroit, Michigan. She attended the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and years later moved to New York City, where she became a nurse. It was in New York that she met Malcolm X and, in 1956. Just a week prior to her husband’s assassination, their home was firebombed; the bomb was thrown into the nursery where their four baby girls slept. In a matter of days, Betty Shabazz’s life would change forever. She was left alone—homeless penniless—widowed, a single parent of four babies and pregnant with twins. She was the wife of a man who challenged a government that had been historically unjust. She was harassed by the Nation of Islam (NOI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and so on. Nevertheless, Betty Shabazz persevered through all of the adversity because she possessed faith in God, respect for self, an awareness of history, most especially Africa’s contribution to world history; and a perspective that never permitted her to say, “No, I can’t do this,” as an answer. She pursued a higher education, and went to work at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York where she then accepted a position as an associate professor of health sciences. Betty Shabazz refused to live her life as a victim. And as a result, she soared. All the while, giving of herself to any and every one she met. She was an incredibly courageous woman who would become a great social leader and champion of social justice in her own right.

A few years ago, I visited the burial ground of Malik El-Shabazz ( الحاجّ مالك الشباز) aka #MalcolmX and Queen #BettyShabazz. I still feel the need to pay homage and respect to them both. They sacrificed so much for us. The late Ossie Davis said: "We will know him then for what he was and is - a Prince - our own black shining Prince! - who didn't hesitate to die, because he loved us so." Today, we act like we were so “self made” or “from the mud” or whatever cliché. But generations sacrificed and gave their lives to life push us forward. In a time when attacks on Blacks are from within and outside of the community, it’s really discouraging. And the violence is only part of the story. Hopefully we can tighten up and those holding the line, keep holding. #happybirthdaymalcolmx https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdw0X6xggP1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today In History Dr. Betty Shabazz was an educator and civil rights advocate, and was born on this date May 28, 1936. She grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and attended the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where she had her first encounters with racism. She left Alabama to study at the Brooklyn State College School of Nursing in New York City. During her second year of nursing school, Betty was invited by an older nurse’s aide to a dinner party at the National of Islam temple in Harlem. During her next visit to the temple, Sanders met Malcolm X, who was her friend’s minister. Betty began attending Malcolm X’s services. She converted in 1956, changing her surname to “X” to represent the loss of her African ancestry. Betty and Malcolm X were married on January 14, 1958, in Michigan. The couple eventually had six daughters. After the assassination of her husband Malcolm X, Shabazz never remarried and raised her six daughters alone. Shabazz completed an undergraduate degree at Jersey City State College, followed by a doctoral degree in higher education administration at the University of Massachusetts. She then accepted a position as an associate professor of health sciences at New York’s Medgar Evers College. She worked as a university administrator and fundraiser.
