Introductions
“While much has been written on Malcolm X’s life in Harlem—pre- and post-Nation of Islam—far less has been written on his time in Boston. My digital project, Mapping Malcolm’s Boston, will fill this void by exploring sites in the Greater Boston area that were central to Malcolm X’s political and religious development, as well as more mundane locations that help to present him as a full human being rather than a mythical figure.”
