BBC Radio 3 Night Waves: "Malcolm X, Islam, & African Americans"

Hosted by Philp Dodd for BBC Radio 3's "Night Waves," I joined Richard Brent Turner (author of Islam in the African-American Experience) and Mark Ledwidge (author of Race and US Foreign Policy: The African-American Foreign Affairs Network) in a conversation about the implications of Dr. Manning Marable's Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention. We discussed Malcolm X's relationship to Islam, his legacy in a so-called "post-racial" America, and the enduring legacy of Islam in the African-American community.
