To mark the 43rd anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm Shabazz’s grandfather in front of his wife and children in Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom, GIANT magazine asked Shabazz and world renowned photojournalist Antonin Kratochvil to pay homage to some of the iconic photographs of Malcolm X.

…what can I say, but, I was speechless. Tears ran down my face and I don’t know why either. Maybe because the story is so powerful. Malcolm Shabazz is powerful even if he doesn’t know the extent of it yet. He is a very handsome young man and will go far. It’s a wonderful thing for an individual to experience the hardships of life. It makes for a magnificent individual in the end.
Oh my god he looked so much like Malcolm Sr when he put the suit and stuff on. I do think that maybe is mom wasn’t really ready to be a mother and had sum problems….i saw the movie of Malcolm X and i see how History is almost repeating it’s self. How Malcolm X’s dad was killed and his mom no longer could do for her kids and malcolm was in homes and was a troubled young boy and teen and his mother with her illness. I think u are strong and i respect u for coming out and sharing ypor story and standing up for what u did. You were a kid but your a man now and to come out and talk about these things shows that. Your Grandfather was a great man i did alot of reports on him in school. Stay strong cause your future is bright i know it is you have a purpose.
This is a serious and deep story loved it and im glad it was shared
