[act-ma] A Documentary on the Life and Ideas of Malcolm X -- Militant Labor Forum, Friday Feb. 21

[Boston Militant Labor Forum]

The Militant Labor Forum Presents: 
 
Maclolm X: El Hajj Malik El
Shabazz
A
Documentary on the Life and Ideas of 
Malcolm
X

 Malcolm
X was an intransigent opponent of the U.S. government and its imperialist
policies. He fought the racist oppression of Blacks and the profit-driven
plunder of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. He spoke out against imperialist
wars from Vietnam to the Congo, and built solidarity with revolutions from Cuba
to Guinea Bissau.
    He
expressed this revolutionary political outlook in the opening years of the
1960s while a major spokesperson for the Nation of Islam. Following his March
1964 break with the Nation, Malcolm’s views continued to evolve—first in an
anti-capitalist, and then increasingly in a pro-socialist direction.
    Forty-nine years ago on February 21, 1965,  Malcolm X was assassinated.
 The
sixty minute film Malcolm X: El Hajj
Malik El Shabazz  traces his life
and evolution of his thought. 
    The film
will be followed by a short presentation and discussion.
