The People’s Organization for Progress (P.O.P.) observed the 96th birthday of civil rights icon Malcolm X with a virtual roundtable discussion.
The panel, which took place on May 20, featured Seton Hall Professors Kelly Harris and Todd Burroughs, P.O.P. vice chair Larry Adams, press officer Zayid Muhammad and chair Lawrence Hamm. Harris has a featured essay in the anthology “Malcolm X-Real, Not Invented,” which challenged the accuracy of the late Manning Marable’s “Malcolm X-A Life Of Reinvention.” Burroughs coedited an anthology also challenging the Marable book “The Lie Of Reinvention: Correcting Manning Marable’s Reinvention.”
