The Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers are a group of tremendously talented artists that grew out of the cultural experience demonstrated at Malcolm X Park and is founded by Doc Powell. Drummers from all walks of life, and from every level of drumming abilities, other musicians of all varieties, and spectators of all nationalities and ages, come together and create a wonderful expression of creative energies. From this setting, arose a group of performing artists called the Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers.

Some of its company members are Donald Donga, King Baba James, Becky Umeh, Roberto Dominich, Dion Jacobs, Jaamin Tempo, Doc Powell, and Kombo Omolara.
