There will be an evening musical tribute with spoken word and dance featuring Craig Harris and the Nation of Imagination; and an afternoon of street academies, musicians and poets, stilt walkers and Malcolm Megaphones created by Carrie Mae Weems to amplify the message of Malcolm X. Our purpose: To reaffirm his contributions to human rights in a time when historical narratives are being rewritten and erased.

Now more than ever, Malcolm’s voice should be heard.
