VIDEO & Storify: "Digital Humanities Beyond the Classroom: The Education of Manning Marable"

One of the projects on which I worked closely with Dr. Marable is an online, annotated, multimedia version of The Autobiography of Malcolm X. At our conference session, I screened this CCNMTL-produced video clip highlighting some features of that project:

Storify: "Researching Malcolm, Reading Marable: A Malcolm X Project Roundtable"

As part of the Manning Marable Memorial Conference, fellow Malcolm X Project researchers May Alhassen, Garrett Felber, & Liz Mazucci joined me in a roundtable conversation moderated by Hishaam Aidi, about Manning Marable's Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention.
