Malcolm X and the fight against racism

Malcolm X and the fight against racism
Friday, June 26, 2020 at 7 PM – 8:30 PM
Online meeting with Mohammad Ali Aumeer

“We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.” Malcolm X, 1965

Fifty-five years after his murder, Malcolm X still inspires those who seek an end to the horrors of racism and the system that produces it. In the midst of today’s unprecedented uprising against racism and police brutality, what can we learn from this powerful and uncompromising leader whose ideas laid the groundwork for generations of activists, including those that went on to found the Black Panther Party and the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement? What was the context in which his ideas developed? Join us for an online discussion of the legacy of Malcolm X and its relevance to the struggle today.

Member of the the American Federation of Musicians - Local 149, Mohammad Ali is a emcee, poet, author, and activist who ups the bar on protest music with a hard-hitting selection of workers’ anthems and gritty frontline labour narratives designed to instil new energy in the movement for workers’ rights. Mohammad has also been writing and leading workshops & training sessions on grassroots anti-racism practices for over a decade. You can follow him on all social media platforms @SocialistHipHop and on Spotify under the name “Mohammad Ali”.
