Saharczewski; tel. 413.597.2242 Email: [email protected] Introduction If one had to select one historical personality within the period 1940 to 1975 who best represented and reflected black urban life, politics, and culture in the United States, it would be extremely difficult to find someone more central than the charismatic figure of Malcolm X/El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925, and growing up in the Midwest, young Malcolm Little was the child of political activists who supported the militant black nationalist movement of Marcus Garvey. After his father’s violent death and his mother’s subsequent institutionalization due to mental illness, Little was placed in foster care and for a time in a youth detention facility. At age sixteen he left school, relocating to Boston upon the invitation of his older half-sister, Ella Little. During World War II, the zoot-suited “Detroit Red” became a small-time hustler, burglar, and narcotics dealer in Harlem and Roxbury. In January 1946, Little was arrested for burglary and weapons possession charges, and received a ten-year sentence in the Massachusetts prison system.

  • “Malcolm X – Old and New” – Sunday, February 3, 2013
    “Malcolm X – Old and New” Sunday, February 3, 2013 Rev. Bruce Southworth, Senior Minister The Community Church of New York Unitarian Universalist Readings (1) Manning Marable was a Professor of History, Public Affairs and African American Studies at Columbia University and a friend of our church attending a variety of community issue-oriented events over the years. He had severe lung disease, received a double-lung transplant in 2010, with what he called a “full recovery.” Sadly, he died in the spring of 2011 from pneumonia, a few days before the publication of his Pulitzer Prize winning biography: Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention. Manning Marable had been struck over the years by various inconsistencies and omissions in the vastly popular Autobiography of Malcolm X published in 1965. He saw the need for a scholar’s history of his life and ideological development, of the details of his involvement with the Nation of Islam and the reasons for his leaving, and of his travels to Africa and the Middle East in the last year of his life… a need for all this, plus an understanding Malcolm X’s spiritual journey. Manning Marable concludes this magnificent detailed biography: Malcolm’s strength was his ability to reinvent himself, in order to function and even thrive in a wide variety of environments…. (p. 479) Malcolm’s person journey of self-discovery, the quest for God, led him toward peace and away from violence. But there is one more legacy that may shape the memory of Malcolm: the politics of radical humanism…ff. (and in James Baldwin’s estimation) “that’s the truth about Malcolm: he was one of the gentlest people I have ever met.” A deep respect for, and a belief in black humanity was at the heart of this revolutionary visionary‘s faith.

  • Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color
    The Community-Building Project: Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color Joseph Erasto Jaramillot INTRODUCTION As people of color continue to face racial and socioeconomic subordination in this country, one wonders when, if ever, the "elusive quest for racial justice"' will end. Intellectuals dedicated to the pursuit of racial justice have focused their work on unmasking the operation of racism and white privilege and recognizing the perspectives of the oppressed. One central insight of this approach is the need to take race into account when analyzing the application of supposedly "race neutral" but so often racially discriminatory criteria. This strategy provides a theoretical basis for transforming society's view of racism and race relations. However, until the dominant culture becomes genuinely receptive to these ideas, communities of color will continue to suffer.2 Indeed, current political discourse adds fuel Copyright 0 1996 by Joseph Jaramillo. t Joseph Erasto Jaramillo received his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall), and his B.A. from the University of California at Davis. He is currently a staff attorney at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) in San Francisco. He completed this Comment before he joined MALDEF. He would like to thank Professor Jerome McCristal Culp, Jr., of Duke University School of Law for his insight, former La Raza Law Journal Co- Editor-in-Chief Robert Salinas for his assistance and support, and Susana Martinez and Robby Mockler for their helpful editing and feedback. This Comment is dedicated to the committed gente of La Raza Law Students Association at Boalt Hall and all other schools, who give true meaning to the word "community." 1.

  • 20Th Century Masters Press Release
    1 FROM “THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN” TO “DIAMONDS & RUST,” NEW COMPILATION COLLECTS THE BEST OF JOAN BAEZ If Bob Dylan is the king of modern folk, then Joan Baez is surely the queen, with her sweeping soprano making her one of the most recognizable voices in music. But for the greatest artists, their songs resonate far beyond the music itself. Of no one is that truer than Baez. Since her first album 40 years ago, she has chronicled and perhaps helped mold the political and social changes that have swept across not only the U.S. but the world. On The Best Of Joan Baez edition of 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection (A&M/UMG), released October 19, 1999, 11 of her most popular and significant songs have been digitally remastered using the latest 24-bit/96k technology and brought together on one album. Spanning her A&M career from 1972-1976, The Best Of Joan Baez features the two most cherished songs for Baez fans--a live version of her 1971 #3 hit “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” (written by Robbie Robertson and originally recorded by the Band) and her acoustic 1975 Top 40 tribute to Dylan, “Diamonds & Rust.” Also included is her cover of Dylan’s classic “Forever Young” as well as covers of songs by Jackson Browne (“Fountain Of Sorrow”), John Prine (“Hello In There”), Janis Ian (“Jesse”) and her sister Mimi Farina (“In The Quiet Morning,” an homage to Janis Joplin). Another highlight is “Dida,” a breezy acoustic duet with its author, Joni Mitchell.
