The Malcolm X discussion forum is collaborating on a project of the Africana Studies Program at the University of Toledo. Together, we are formally announcing this collaboration and want to encourage all persons to fully participate as your time permits. This new project begins next Monday, February 5, 2001. We are resurrecting the 1990 conference Malcolm X: "Radical Tradition and Legacy of Struggle." Weekly we will post the audio speeches from various sessions on the Web. There are 24 sessions; therefore, the complete process is expected to take six months. URL: <http://www.murchisoncenter.org/malcolm/> (officially launch 02/05/2001) For the specific program topics and speakers who attended the conference go to: <http://www.brothermalcolm.net/workshop.html> The Malcolm X discussion forum will serve as the official worldwide on-line discussion option for everyone who becomes a member this exciting collaboration. For information about subscribing to the Malcolm X discussion forum send and e-mail message to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or see: <http://www.code1.com/cybercolonies/malcolm/index.htm> We will upload one audio session per week, and then discuss the content of that session.
