Every person is a unique individual. In addition, everyone is shaped and conditioned by their environment, especially family. For this reason it is essential that the "Malcolm X: A Research Site" contain information on the family of Malcolm Little/Malcolm X/Malik Shabazz.
In 1994 Jan Carew stated the case for this page quite clearly: "We need to bring Malcolm back to earth and to humanize his memory. The time has come to frame him against the background of an extended family and then place him in the context of the larger community of people in America and abroad who influenced him and whom he, in turn, influenced."(Ghosts in Our Blood, 1994)
In general, we believe that Malcolm X belongs to his family, to his community, to the fighters for Black Liberation, and to freedom loving people all over the world.
