About Malcolm X House Site

Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little in 1925, first lived with his family in a house on Pinkney Street in North Omaha. The family left for Milwaukee in 1926 after threats from the Ku Klux Klan, and the house was torn down in 1965. The site joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and a state historical marker followed in 1987. Today the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation owns about 10 acres here, with a community garden. The site is open Friday and Saturday afternoons, and tours can be booked ahead through the foundation.
