Event Description:

Sharif Liwaru to Speak on Being a Muslim in America

Sharif Liwaru will speak on March 4th 2014 at 6:30 p.m. on being Muslim in America.  Sharif is a scholar of the life of Malcolm X and will use his life as a starting point to speak about being a Muslim in America. 

 What did Malcolm X stand for and what significance does he have to the radical politics and movements of his time?  His life is as he describes it, a “chronology of changes”.  He presents a view of Malcolm's life and the changes he underwent, as well as the relevance of his social, political, and even spiritual thought. The challenge is to take Malcolm X, all of him, and present this information in an accessible manner.

This program is made possible with support  from the Nebraska Humanities Council Speaker's Bureau.
