DESCRIPTION:Racism and oppression are alive and well in the United States. From the 
 attempts of politicians to rob Afro-Americans of their voting rights to the 
 overflowing prisons that entrap millions and the epidemic of police murder 
 that has claimed the lives of Oscar Grant, Sean Bell and Alan Blueford; the 
 New Jim Crow is out of control.\n\nIn celebration of what would have been 
 his 88th birthday, the International Socialist Organization will host a 
 discussion on the revolutionary ideas of Malcolm X. \n\nFrom his legacy of 
 struggle against racism to his firm belief in the right of the oppressed to 
 self-defense, and his internationalism, Malcolm X still has much to offer a 
 new generation.\n\nSpeakers: \nBrian Jones is an educator, actor and 
 activist in New York City. Brian co-narrated the film, The Inconvenient 
 Truth Behind Waiting for Superman and contributed to the book, Education 
 and Capitalism: Struggles for Learning and Liberation. His commentary and 
 writing have appeared on MSNBC.com, Democracy Now!, The Huffington Post, 
 GritTV and SocialistWorker.org. Brian has also lent his voice to several 
 audiobooks, including, The John Carlos Story: The Sports Moment That 
 Changed the World and Howard Zinn's one-man play Marx in Soho. Brian was 
 recently awarded a Lannan Cultural Freedom Fellowship.\n\nSpecial Guest 
 speaker Jeralynn Blueford - mother of Alan Blueford, murdered by OPD and 
 co-founder of the Justice for Alan Blueford (JAB) committee.  \n
