"Malcolm X"

There are already plenty of places named after Malcolm X:

In cities across the United States, Malcolm X's birthday (May 19) is commemorated as Malcolm X Day. The first known celebration of Malcolm X Day took place in Washington, D.C., in 1971.[337] The city of Berkeley, California, has recognized Malcolm X's birthday as a citywide holiday since 1979.[338]

Many cities have renamed streets after Malcolm X. In 1987, New York mayor Ed Koch proclaimed Lenox Avenue in Harlem to be Malcolm X Boulevard.[339] The name of Reid Avenue in Brooklyn, New York, was changed to Malcolm X Boulevard in 1985.[340][341] Brooklyn also has El Shabazz Playground that was named after him.[342] New Dudley Street, in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, was renamed Malcolm X Boulevard in the 1990s.[343] In 1997, Oakland Avenue in Dallas, Texas, was renamed Malcolm X Boulevard.[344] Main Street in Lansing, Michigan, was renamed Malcolm X Street in 2010.[345] In 2016, Ankara, Turkey, renamed the street on which the U.S. is building its new embassy after Malcolm X.[346][347][Q]

Dozens of schools have been named after Malcolm X, including Malcolm X Shabazz High School in Newark, New Jersey,[349] Malcolm Shabazz City High School in Madison, Wisconsin,[350] Malcolm X College in Chicago, Illinois,[351] and El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz Academy in Lansing, Michigan.[352] Malcolm X Liberation University, based on the Pan-Africanist ideas of Malcolm X, was founded in 1969 in North Carolina.[353]

In 1996, the first library named after Malcolm X was opened, the Malcolm X Branch Library and Performing Arts Center of the San Diego Public Library system.[354]

I never said any of these should be renamed after Elijah Muhammad instead.
