TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
Happy Malcolm X Day. On Malcolm 101st Birthday Kehinde reflects on what Malcolm would say if he were alive today. Rest assured he would have been angry about the state of things. After providing a brief update about the Black Studies situation at Birmingham City University, Kehinde reflects on the Unite the Kingdom rally and the fresh bunch of English flags popping up around the UK.
We are joined by guest Dr. Peniel Joseph, author of Freedom Season and many other books. He shares insights on Malcolm's relevance today, the importance of dignity, and reflects on the attacks on the civil rights that were hard fought for.
