Stanford Humanities Center
A century after his birth, why does Malcolm X remain a central figure in U.S. history of the 1950s and '60s? How did he anticipate the struggles against racism of our time?
Lerone Martin will speak about Malcolm X’s significance and legacy. A guided conversation will follow.
Martin is the Martin Luther King Jr. Centennial Professor, Professor of Religious Studies, and Director of the King Research and Education Institute.
About the Series
The Night Before is a new series of online conversations in which we examine ritual occasions through the insights of the humanities. As we come together, handcrafted cocktails and mocktails tell their own stories about these unique times of year. In one hour, we learn to experience the next day differently.
Hosted by Stanford alumni, each party is free, and features a guided conversation led by faculty or Humanities Center Fellows.
