In November 1990 [1-4], more than 3,000 people from 25 countries attended the Malcolm X: Radical Tradition and a Legacy of Struggle conference held in New York City. More than 100 speakers led 24 sessions that deeply explored, contextualized, and situated El Hajj Malik El Shabazz in the genealogy of Black radical internationalism as a Pan Africanist. There is an argument that can be made that El Haj Mailk El Shabazz is an archetype of what I have argued elsewhere as a critical Africana human rights consciousness. This praxis [the intellectual production and the Black radical and revolutionary practice that it produces, is in fact a critique of and expansion on dominant human rights theory and practice. When we turn attention to his evolution as an internationalist activist-theoretician, we can begin to truly grasp the breadth, depth and the rhythms of the various manifestations of Africana peoples struggle for freedom. Africa World Now Project will share some of this conference in an effort to engender serious engagement, in this very moment, a moment where it is essential to be intentional with one’s political practice with Malcolm. Not in the narrow confines of him as an individual or pigeonhole him to moments and soundbites, but to identify the tradition that produced Malcolm as a nexus, a point of entry for many into the seriously trying to figure out: what is to be done? More than this, we encourage you to visit Abdul Alkalimat’s website to explore, read, and hear more of the conference. Link to archive is available here: [https://www.alkalimat.org/brothermalcolm/1990_conf_contents.htm]. The archive is rich, we did not include sessions with important revolutionary organizer-intellectuals as well as academics such as: Dhoruba bin Wahad, bell hooks, James cone, Chokwe Lumumba, Linda Burham, Molefi Asnate, john Woodford, Timonthy Johnson, Estella Vazquez, Sylvia Hill, Clarence Lusane, Akinyele Umoja, etc What you will hear next is Pt I – Contextualizing El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, which will be part of a series on this conference. Pt II and III will be available via our podcast and on all podcast platforms. What you will hear next is Amiria Baraka opening the conference with a series of meditations on 10 why we need this conference and then a poem titled Today for Malcolm.
