Nebraska's Legislature passed a bill recognizing Malcolm X's birth on May 19 as a day for schools to honor his civil rights contributions.

Nebraska's Legislature passed a bill recognizing civil rights activist Malcolm X every May 19, the day he was born in Omaha in 1925. The legislation, introduced by Sen. Terrell McKinney, does not declare the day a state holiday but allows Nebraska schools to hold exercises recognizing Malcolm X's civil rights contributions. This recognition comes as Malcolm X is set to be inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame.
