Learn More About Malcolm X

Dustin Byrd, Humanities Department, will present a lecture entitled "Malcolm X's Political and Religious Philosophy." Byrd will examine Malcolm's intellectual development from his days in Michigan to his untimely death in Harlem in 1965. Malcolm X was not only an important figure in the Civil Rights struggle, but had a lasting impact on National Liberation struggles worldwide. We will critically examine his philosophy and legacy, attempt to move it out of the slogans, and shed light on the man who changed America but got little credit for it.

This lecture will be held at Burrage Library (main floor) at 2:00pm on Friday, February 15th. The lecture will be followed by a discussion. Everyone is welcome and there is no charge. Contact the Library at 269.749.7387 for more information.
