![]() ![]() ![]() Over the next five years, until he was arrested in January 1946 on charges of larceny, breaking and entering, and illegal possession of a firearm, Malcolm Little lived off and on at No. In the early 1940s, when Boston’s El towered over what was then called Dudley Square, Ella Mae Little-Collins purchased a two-and-a-half-story house at 72 Dale Street, not far from Washington Park, and invited her 15-year-old half brother, Malcolm, to move in with her. And it is possible to forget that the recently renamed Nubian Square-Roxbury’s central business district-is less than a 10-minute walk away. The sidewalk that abuts the bowfront brick rowhouses and wood-frame two-families with porch railings and multiple mailboxes feels comfortably quiet. T o anyone walking through Roxbury, Massachusetts, the sounds that waft over Dale Street are far away-the fart of buses on Washington Street to the west and on Warren Street to the east. ![]()
