One of the featured speakers, Mr. Zaheer Ali, was a lead researcher on the biography, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, and will be speaking about the work that the team did to craft this new understanding of Malcolm X’s life. He worked very closely with Dr. Manning Marable and will be able to share insights on how this work came to be, recent primary sources that have become available to scholars, and a deep understanding of the historical context of Malcolm X’s life.

The second speaker, Dr. Yohuru Williams, will strategize with participants on ways to incorporate the recent knowledge and primary source information about Malcolm X for the secondary classroom. He will discuss ways for educators to share information about Malcolm X as a part of the historical trajectory of the struggle for African American civil rights.
