BOSTON Malcolm X’s boyhood home in Boston was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The 2 ½-story house is the only surviving residence associated with the slain civil rights leader’s formative years in the city, according to Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin, who chairs the state historical commission that requested the designation.
The home, which was originally built in 1874 and designated a city landmark in 1998, was officially listed on the federal register last month, the National Park Service that oversees the listing said this week.
The former Malcolm Little was a teenager in the 1940s when he came to live with his sister, Ella Little Collins.
