For the fictional organization from the Honorverse, see Audubon Ballroom (Honorverse).
The Audubon Ballroom is most notoriously known as where Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965. The Audubon was a theatre and ballroom located in Washington Heights, a neighborhood north of Harlem, on the island of Manhattan. It was recently demolished to make way for expanding research centers belonging to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. A compromise was reached with members of the local community, so that a memorial to Malcolm X was erected along with the research center, behind the facade of the original building.
