Malcolm X's Michigan home goes on National Register of Historic Places
However, it was the home he lived in just outside of Detroit in Inkster that was recently given historical recognition. The small house located at 4336 Williams St. that Malcolm X lived in from 1952 to 1953 is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
“People and places in Michigan played important roles in the Civil Rights movement of the mid-twentieth century," Mark A. Rodman, Michigan’s state historic preservation officer, said in a statement. "We are honored to join the city of Inkster in celebrating one of those roles with the listing of this home.”
"This house will help us better understand Malcolm X, not as an icon, but as a human being. It will also help us understand his family and the important role that played in his development into one of the most important figures in American history,” Michigan SHPO’s National Register Coordinator Todd Walsh said.

Back in the 70s I use to live a couple of blocks from that house. Never knew this.
