I attended Malcolm X College in Chicago from 1976-78, happened to see sister Betty Shabazz walking the hall with the school president one day, Mashallah

I love how she always supported Malcolm X, a true soldier

KZfaq has become like a time machine. Knowledge and understanding of our past helps us shape our future!!! Betty Shabazz was an enlightened sister indeed!!!

Sister Betty very dignified lady! Rest in peace.

Very powerful yet grounded. Malcolm was a lucky man!

My GOODNESS! I've always loved hearing her speak and can see her compatibility to Malcolm. She was ABSOLUTELY and most IMPORTANTLY NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL with the Copper-Bronze glow of her melanoid skin! I'll keep seeking until I find myself a Mama S1STA Betty! May Mama S1STA Betty continue to Rest In Peaceful Power🌞❤

She was on to those who tried to be slick with their questions. She maintained grace but handled them.

I was born on May 19 1958. So I was six. I became somewhat aware of him in 1972. Over the next 30 years I became more knowledgeable about him. He was the chosen one. Period

Long Live Betty Shabazz. All Power to the People!

"I'm a black woman, period" - Betty Shabazz (1971)

Very informative, thanks for posting. How many of us would have turned down six million dollars to just slow down our activities? As a Black Communist I appreciate her support of sister Angela Davis. Sister Betty was " our " national treasure!

Sister Shabazz! Enjoyed this,, we love you and Malcolm Always; thank you for allll you both contributed to the struggle

Respect respect for Betty. Such an intelligent humble woman

Sister Betty Shabazz was on point for real!!!!

I met The Late Ms. Betty Shabazz in NYC during the 80's. A wonderful Lady May God Bless her beautiful Soul

I love the way she speaks. Intelligent, eloquent, articulate, and a great sounding voice too

I just love to hear her SPEAK..👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

She sounded so young in the beginning.

I Salute and give praise to Betty Shabazz

If the world particularly black folks need any holiday in respect of anyone it would be Malcolm x ., 💯

This is the 1st time I'm hearing from Sistas Betty, I am Happy to listen our Bright and shining Star.

Dr. Betty!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you, BLACK POWER. 🌍

She said PERIOD! 👑 🖤🙏🏿

Awesome Words From Dr. Betty Shabazz.📖🎙🎤

Mama Betty Shabazz was so phenomenal, dynamic and beautiful. Mama Betty continued fighting our struggles that her late king left off until she joined our ancestors. Ase, Mama Betty Shabazz.

I saw her in New York in 1989 but I say about that her husband was a real man and I wish he was my father. She said thanks but she had to be at the opening of her youth center in Durham, NC. My family's move there the following year and I had visit to her center when I came back from numerous years later. She's top boss and a reale woman of committment and truth. Rest in power, queen !!!

That was amazing 💜

Truly Amazing 👏 🙌 Sister Betty Rest In Power

WOW! Right here in the bay area Oakland, CA. Hell YES!!!

Empress Betty Shabazz.. In Swahili.. Isiyo na wakati - ( Timeless )..

Thank you for this post. Great insight! ❤️

Very informative.

a revolutionary

A real consciousness Queen.

Wow I was just born!

Malcolm had a VISION to take over FOUR all BLACK SCHOOLS in NY that were FAILING and make them WORLD CLASS. wondered why no one picked up that TASK and RAN WITH IT? loved HER FEELINGS: BLACKS STAND HEAD AND SHOULDERS WITH EVERY CULTURE on the PLANET, inspite of slavery. no need to feel BAD ABOUT themselves, at all. THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS and INGENUITY. is WORLD-WIDE. and, SPEAKS VOLUMES.

What an intelligent Queen 👑 mashallah

Brother malcolm x was the man.

My hero!!!!!!!

I don't think I've ever heard her speak. I can clearly see why Malcolm was her partner; she was no nonsense, loyal, and very clever, so they were equally yoked. I remember when she died so tragically in 1997. My grandmother had just been diagnosed with cancer and only lived about 6 weeks after Betty Shabazz, although we didn't know it at the time. She didn't speak English, but saw the images of Mrs. Shabazz on the screen, and I explained the story to her. After some time in the hospital, she died and one of the last things my grandmother said before losing speech entirely was that "at least she was done with what must've been a lot of pain". She was empathetic, but this sounded almost envious on top of it, and even though I was young, I remember thinking she must be in a lot of pain herself to sound this way. 💔 Betty Shabazz did not have an easy life, or, death. I hope her beloved met her on the shores of the afterlife, and God was pleased with them. I pray the same for my nan with the children she lost before I was born; she had bouts of intense sadness. I can't help but imagine that she was talking about more than just the physical pain.

May Yah bless his seed and his generations to come

PBTA for This Beautiful Brother....

Sister Betty shazz, in some strange way reminds me of Joe Jackson wife Micheal Jackson mother mrs.katherine jackson.both significant women.

"hey, I can't be both father and mother" where were the Betty shabazzes probably say that today? Where are they ,hmm?

That's a real queen 👑

Lemme clarify my earlier comment. No, there could nor would be another Mama S1STA Betty. Yet, I most certainly would seek to find someone a s1sta with similar strength, courage, intelligence and without a doubt understanding of herself within her Glow of Melanoid NATURALNESS🌞💯❗

Greatness✨✊🏾

God bless the X family

Intelligent woman

All we left with are good speeches. We are still in the same condition.

Rest In Power King Malcolm, Queen Betty, and King Malcolm Shabazz, their grandson who was murdered in Mexico. She didn't understand how they would further divide and conquer Black people worldwide. Not every Black person needs be supported by the Black collective. There are those who have taken the kind of money and authority that Malcolm declined. Angela Davis' position on numerous issues including feminism, homosexuality and the place of Black men in terms of Black women is one of them.

Dude had courage

YES!

As salaam alaykum thanks for sharing

N they still do Have mercy! EVERYTHING U SAY IS TRUE. ELOHIM WILL GET THEM ALL.💖.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

LONG LIVE SIS BETTY SHABAZZ & EL HAJJ MALIK EL SHABAZZ!!!!

He did his best but we can do better You never know who you are with When you go outside of self looking for information, learn and live it so no one takes it away from you they could only keep trying to fit in and look for information that will help them support what is happening for the moment.

❤

He found some solutions but they were outside of him, learn from him, it's you and your experience.

That's square ⬜ business 😎

I can see why Malcolm married her....goddamn....

Rip debt free and taxes free asap now today just do it love 💕💕💕💕

He decline 6 million at that time... what our Prophet deny Arabia wealth as well.

Mmh. Ganja has no effect on baby on whomb. Ganja has healing power for the man and the woman.

If Betty knew that Angela Davis is a opportunist definitely not no freedom fighter

She sounded like Michelle Obama. They both look alike too. Beautiful and elegant too.

The heck with Manning Marable.

We've always been here, we're not Africans!!!

In later years when she was at a funeral . Rudolph Giuliani showed up, people began to boo. Betty Shabazz told them to stop booing because Guiliani is a friend of hers. In some ways she was stupid. She was one of those people from the Rodney King play book of can't we all just get along. But, she has been through quite a bit of emotional pain, but not the brightest bulb on the tree.
