The Audubon Ballroom is most notoriously known for being the location where Malcom X was assassinated in 1965. It was a ballroom adjacent to a theatre located at Broadway and 166th St. in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City, a diverse neighborhood north of Harlem, on the island of Manhattan. It was recently (as of 2004) demolished against the wishes of many in the community, to make way for expanding research centers belonging to Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. A compromise was reached with the community and a memorial to Malcolm X was erected along with the research center.
