As part of our celebration of Malcolm X’s centennial year, join us for an evening of reflection and conversation honoring his life and enduring legacy. We’ll begin with a screening of A Tribute to Malcolm X, a powerful 1967 short film by pioneering documentarian Madeline Anderson. The film offers a moving portrait of Malcolm’s revolutionary voice, assembled in the immediate aftermath of his assassination.

Following the screening, a panel of thinkers, organizers, and scholars will discuss the ongoing relevance of Malcolm X’s ideas in today’s world. This discussion will be moderated by Jamara Wakefield, award-winning writer, filmmaker and executive producer at In The Wake TV. She can be found on Instagram and X @jamaraproducer.

Panelists include Kevin Powell, a writer and activist whose discovery of The Autobiography of Malcolm X as a young student shaped his life’s work as a cultural and political voice; Larry Hamm, longtime community organizer and founder of the People’s Organization for Progress; Dr. Rosemari Mealy, a scholar, author, and international human rights advocate whose work spans the Black Power movement and global solidarity; and Zayid Muhammad, a Newark-based organizer, poet, and historian, whose decades of activism continue the tradition of Black liberation work rooted in art, education, and grassroots struggle.
