Is Malcolm X Still Relevant Today?
Politics in the Age of Obama
Join a panel of activists and intellectuals to discuss the legacy of
Malcolm X and if he is still relevant in today's society. As one of
the foremost Black orator, agitator and activist of Black Nationalism,
Malcolm's legacy is remembered by many. In the last year of his life,
Malcolm attempted to mount a movement based on Human rights,
self-determination and community control. For him, integration was not
a viable option he believed American capitalism and imperialism were
perils of human rights. However, recent developments in our society
including the first Black President leads us to question if Malcolm X
is still relevant today.
