Malcolm X Memorial Lecture: ‘Why Malcolm X Matters, Now’

Six decades since both Malcolm X’s death and publication of his classic autobiography, Eddie S. Glaude Jr., the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of African American Studies at Princeton, reframes the leader not merely as a historical icon but as a model for self-transformation and moral courage. In exploring Malcolm’s spiritual and intellectual legacies, Glaude shows how, through acts of individual character and collective action, we can all learn to confront uncomfortable truths in turbulent times.

This event is open to all.
