There is no longer a gate. Park in the parking lot and walk down the stairs at the end (through where the gate used to be), follow the paved walkway to the sign.

Signs: Malcolm X Born Here

A large, boldly lettered sign, not in the style of an official historical marker. The activist and assassinated civil rights leader may have to wait a few more years for that...
