EspañolLENOX AVENUE (MANHATTAN)
'Lenox Avenue' / 'Malcolm X Boulevard' is the primary north-south route through Harlem in the upper portion of the New York City borough of Manhattan. The avenue runs from Central Park North to 147th Street.[1]
Originally a part of Sixth Avenue, it was renamed in late 1887.[2] for philanthropist James Lenox. In 1987, it was co-named Malcolm X Boulevard (both names are officially recognized), in honor of the slain civil rights leader.[3][4]
Another Malcolm X Boulevard is located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.
