SUMMARY:Lessons for the 21st Century: The Promise and Practices of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X
DESCRIPTION:The lives of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and El Hajj Malik Shabazz (Malcolm X) are often presented as examples of diverging strategies and philosophies. Recent work by Peniel E. Joseph\, The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.\, posits new understanding about the political lives of both men while Randal Jelks directs us to look closely at Dr. King’s political activism as a moral mandate in Letters to Martin: Meditations on Democracy in Black America. This event will provide an insightful and expansive look at the models of political self-awareness and community care. Presented by Africana Studies and SEEK in celebration of Black History Month.  \n\n\n\nRegister at https://tinyurl.com/2p999hfc
