The last known surviving boyhood home of Malcolm X has officially been added to the National Register of Historic Places. The house, located in the Roxbury section of Boston, is where Malcolm spent his teenage years living with his half sister, fellow civil rights icon Ella Little-Collins, according to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a D.C.-based nonprofit organization.
With the new designation, the house will be considered in all federal planning, may qualify for federal grants and will be eligible for tax provisions to rehabilitate the building.
