When Malcolm X visited Smethwick
Malcolm X's visit to the Black Country is being marked at a heritage centre.
The centre in Smethwick has put up information boards to tell the story of the human rights activist's visit as part of Black History Month.
He was shot dead on his return to the US, just days after his visit.
Other boards celebrate residents including Tony O'Connor, believed to have been Britain's first black headteacher.
Black and Asian communities are an important part of the history of "Global Smethwick", a spokesman said.
Rakeem Omar visits Smethwick to revisit the moments of that day with listener Keith Bracey.
