A Life of Reinvention: Manning Marable Chronicles the Life of Malcolm X
Malcolm X was born 80 years ago today. To commemorate the occasion we hear a speech by Columbia University professor Manning Marable chronicling his life. Marable is currently working on a major new biography of Malcolm X which is tentatively titled "Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention."
Today we are going to spend the hour looking at one of the most dynamic leaders of the 20th century. He was born 80 years ago today but lived only 39 years. I'm talking about Malcolm X. To mark the occasion here in New York, the Shabazz family has temporarily opened the "Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center," which is located in what was once the Audubon Ballroom, where Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965.
