DESCRIPTION:On Sunday, March 4 at 2pm noted Bay Area actor/playwright, Michael Lange, 
 who has recreated Malcolm X’s speeches over 800 times nationwide since 
 1990, will perform Malcolm’s historic speech, “Message to the 
 Grassroots” at the Socialist Action Bookstore. This important 1963 speech 
 conveys the urgent call for political action by Black people in America to 
 fundamentally alter their long legacy of racial oppression. \n\nLange 
 captivates audiences with his performances, bringing Malcolm’s 
 electrifying presence to life. Every aspect of the Black leader--from his 
 glasses, to his suit, his confident inflection, and his mannerisms--is 
 recreated in careful detail.  \n\nLange has also performed in Jeff 
 Stetson’s award-winning play “The Meeting,” which depicts a 
 fictitious meeting between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.\n\nAs a 
 playwright Lange wrote Prophet Nat, a musical docu-drama that explores the 
 life of slave prophet Nat Turner, who led the first successful rebellion of 
 slaves in Virginia in 1831. As a storyteller and singer, Michael has penned 
 over 40 songs whose lyrics convey a story of hope at a time when today’s 
 world is at the crossroads between freedom and oppression.\n\nHe is also 
 vice-president of Bay Area Repertory Theater, a regional theater company 
 located in Oakland, California.\n\nBefore the performance Lange will 
 discuss the political and social impact of Malcolm X’s ideas, past and 
 present, and there will be a question and answer period afterward.\n\nThe 
 cost for event is $5-$10, sliding scale. No one will be turned away for 
 lack of funds. This event is wheelchair accessible.\n\nFor further
