Overview

• Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation S1204/A5339 on Aug. 10 during Harlem Week to rename the 110th Street–Central Park North station as 110th Street–Malcolm X Plaza.
• Hochul also enacted bill S7152A/A8220A at the same ceremony to designate the Harlem Renaissance Cultural District as a region of cultural significance.
• The station, served by the 2 and 3 subway lines at 110th Street and Central Park North, now bears a name reflecting Malcolm X’s decade-long residency and community impact in Harlem.
• Ceremony attendees included Malcolm X’s daughter Ilyasah Shabazz, state legislators, NYC Transit officials, and local community leaders.
• Most outlets accurately reported the change but one misidentified the station as “100 St–Malcolm X Plaza,” a mistake corrected by the official legislation.
