Malcolm X at 100: Ibram X Kendi looks to the future
Briefly

In Ibram X Kendi's latest work, he explores the lasting influence of Malcolm X a century after his birth. He argues that Malcolm’s insights into race remain crucial in addressing modern racial injustices in the U.S., particularly in light of a possible second Donald Trump presidency. Kendi posits that reflecting on Malcolm's legacy compels a deeper exploration of ongoing systemic oppression and the urgency for transformative antiracist actions. The book serves as both a tribute and a critical assessment of how far society has progressed—and what still needs to be done.
"Malcolm X's legacy is not just about his life or the struggles he faced; it embodies the ongoing fight against racism that persists in America. His influence remains vital, striking at the heart of racial inequities that continue to plague our society today."
"Understanding Malcolm X in our current context challenges us to re-evaluate our approaches to antiracism. His teachings push us to confront uncomfortable truths about systemic oppression and the need for transformative change, particularly as we navigate another potential Trump presidency."
