Panel Discussion on "Malcolm X: A life of Reinvention" by Manning Marable
The African American Studies Department will host a discussion on the book "Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention" by Department of History alumni Manning Marable.
The discussion will center on the following:
1) What would be Malcolm's analysis of the prison industrial complex or the New Jim Crow in the 21st century?
2) Comments on Manning Marable's book.
3) The role of women in Malcolm X's movement. Women have often been neglected in this discussion.
4) Aligning of similar philosophies/ideologies between Malcolm/MLK particularly towards MLK's death.
5) US Military Industrial Complex particularly in the Middle East and Africa.
6) President Obama's presidency.
The program will include statements from our illustrious panelists, a moderated discussion, and questions from our audience and conclude with light refreshments.
