AfricaNow! February 7, 2024 Reflections on Malcolm X…Pt. III—Applying Malcolm

Topic and Guests: Today AfricaNow! continues a series which highlights some of the discussion which took place during the Malcolm X: Radical Tradition and a Legacy of Struggle conference held in New York City in November 1990.  More than 3,000 people from 25 countries attended conference which featured more than 100 speakers led 24 sessions that deeply explored, contextualized, and situated El Hajj Malik El Shabazz in the genealogy of Black radical internationalism as a Pan Africanist.  In today’s program we feature Pt. III—Applying Malcolm, part of the series on this conference.  In the final installment Pt. III—Applying Malcolm on AfricaNow! features Barbara Ransby and Fran Beal. 

In this series, Africa World Now Project is sharing some of the sessions from this conference in an effort to engender serious engagement, in this very moment, a moment where it is essential to be intentional with one’s political practice with Malcolm. Not in the narrow confines of him as an individual or pigeonhole him to moments and soundbites, but to identify the tradition that produced Malcolm as a nexus, a point of entry for many into the seriously trying to figure out: what is to be done?

More on this--we encourage you to visit Abdul Alkalimat’s website at www.alkalimat.org/brothermalcolm/1…onf_contents.htm to explore, read, and hear more of the conference.
