Branding Malcolm X: Reclaiming the Substance and the Symbol of Malcolm X for Today’s and Tomorrow’s Generations
Dr. Jared Ball, and/of I Mix What I Like!, shares with us a timely discussion about the life, and especially the legacy, of Malcolm X...
Ilyasah Al-Shabazz, the daughter of Malcolm X, was quoted recently as saying that, “It was when I was watching the second Obama inauguration that I started to really worry that my father was being written out of history…” Her comment speaks to the concern discussed in this presentation by Dr. Jared Ball, the branding of Malcolm X and the revolutionary ideas with which he worked.
A special thanks to Dr. Conrad Worrill and The Jacob H. Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies (CCICS) for the invitation and a wonderful event.
