Re: Average cost of meals in NYC. 30 January 2012, 21:22. I tend to get takeout, but the dinner specials in my neighborhood hole in the wall Chinese are $4.75 - $5.75.... the secret is to get out of the center of midtown. If you have to be in midtown, head over to 2nd Avenue, or 9th or 10th Avenue.
Killed in front of his family. On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X took to the stage of the Audubon Ballroom, a site often used for civic meetings. His wife, Betty Shabazz, and four children were in the crowd. Malcolm X was 39 when he was gunned down in 1965.
Malcolm X was effectively orphaned early in life. His father was killed when he was six and his mother was placed in a mental hospital when he was thirteen, after which he lived in a series of foster homes. In 1946, at age 20, he went to prison for larceny and breaking and entering. While in prison, Malcolm X became a member of the Nation of Islam, and after his parole in 1952, quickly rose to become one of the organization's most influential leaders.
