Join Professor Margaret Washington (Marie Underhill Noll Professor of American History, Emerita), and Professor Russell Rickford (Associate Professor of history) for a talk about Malcolm X prior to the 100th anniversary to his birth, on May 19th.

Since the 1960s, Malcolm X has been the most widely recognized global symbol of African American nationalism, Pan Africanism, and radicalism. But as the centennial of Malcolm’s birth approaches, (19 May 1925), his vision of "the end of white world supremacy" seems strikingly at odds with our political realities. Can Malcolm's themes of international revolutionary solidarity help lead us from retrenchment to liberation?
