Summary

On Monday, May 19, 2025, we mark the 100th birthday of Malcolm X—a centennial honoring a life shaped by self-transformation, Black self-determination, and an unwavering commitment to global liberation. His words and actions continue to challenge systems rooted in white supremacy, now desperately clinging to power through international self-dealing, global realignments, and domestic attacks on voting rights, birthright citizenship, and national identity.

Since his assassination in 1965, one question persists: What would Malcolm say now? From The Autobiography to ongoing efforts to define—and redefine—his legacy, from dialogues with elders, organizers, artists, and scholars, we remember Malcolm not just as a man, but as representative of an ongoing, unfinished movement.

As explored in many sessions of In Class with Carr, Malcolm taught us to witness—and to act. White nationalism’s violent death rattle is not a moment for silence. As Malcolm said: you don’t make peace with injustice. You finish the job.
