Malcolm X & the Sudanese Documentary




Malcolm X & the Sudanese Documentary click here

Thankful for documentaries such as this one that place the focus on individuals such as Ahmed Osman who truly impacted Malcolm's progress forward and his plans prior to being taken from us. These are the stories that push us to learn more and that push us to preserve Malcolm's legacy and initiate study and understanding into his ideas for a better tomorrow. Respect to Hisham Aidi and the filmmakers of this wonderful documentary. Below are some other resources connected to this documentary.

This semester, Spring 2019 Hip Hop Alumni introduced a first of its kind course at Penn State Berks cross listed with African American and Interdisciplinary studies AMST226N: Critical Approaches to Hip Hop

James aka SkydeJames of HHA


The course examines the politics of hip hop art and culture by placing hip hop in a broad historical context tracing its aesthetic and cultural roots from Africa to Jamaica to 1970s New York City and then forward 1980s and beyond. For more information on the course contact Professor Justin De Senso at jxd367@psu.edu.
