Dowoti Désir, Executive Director of The Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center (The Shabazz Center), announced today that the center will host an Election Night Watch. The Watch will provide an opportunity for the public to come together to witness the results of the 2008 presidential election. “Voting in the 2008 presidential election is the defining moment of this generation. For many, the possibility of electing an African American president or a woman Vice President will be the most significant act of civic engagement of their lives. The Shabazz Center invites everyone to share the memory of this occasion at the historic Audubon Ballroom starting 7pm on Tuesday, November 4th, “says Dowoti Désir.

The Shabazz Center is located at 3940 Broadway in Harlem, New York. All attendees must RSVP by October 31, 2008. For more information, or to sponsor or to volunteer during the event, call (212) 568-1341 or send email to admin@theshabazzcenter.net.
