Malcolm X is often written off as a slogan or a threat. Join the first Black studies professor in the UK, Kehinde Andrews, as he restores Malcolm X's radical clarity. Andrews argues that Malcolm was not a detour from civil rights, but its sharpest diagnosis, identifying racism as structural, global, and enduring, not a moral glitch. Integration without justice was never liberation. Malcolm’s challenge remains unfinished: self-determination, power, and truth over comfort.
"Once again Kehinde Andrews nails it!" — Kalwant Bhopal
