Malcolm X was a master of the WORD. We celebrate Malcolm X because of his bold honesty and sacrifice, his intellectural power and brilliant rap! Malcolm was a living representative of our great radical tradition of struggle created by millions of people whose names we will never know. We celebrate and STUDY Malcolm X because he is a window through which we can see and understand this radical tradition. We study Malcolm to learn how we can keep this tradition alive by making our original contribution to it. Film #2 Public Enemy by Jens Meurer 50 min. PUBLIC ENEMY presents four charismatic and influential Americans who have been leading wildly dissimilar lives, yet they have one thing in common: they are all former members of the Black Panther Party - the radical black liberation movement that confronted racial and economic inequality in 1960s mainstream America. A film about the revolutionaries after the revolution, PUBLIC ENEMY focuses on the personal lives, past and present, of four Panther Party members - prisoner-turned-playwright Jamal Joseph; musician and record producer, Nile Rodgers (Chic, Sister Sledge); law professor and lecturer Kathleen Cleaver; and the last surviving founding member, Bobby Seale. "The Black Panther Party was greatly influenced by Malcolm X and his philosophy of self determination, self respect and self defense" explains Marilyn Clark, founding director of Black Cinematheque. "We are pleased to share this film with the Dallas audience on Malcolm's 81st birthday." Film #3 I Have A Dream 2006 -- by Adrian L. Neely, 8 min. Four elementary students try to awaken their indifferent teacher to the value of Black history. Film #4 Flowers in the Dirt by Giraud Polite, 10 min.
