Muhammad is an independent scholar based in Washington D.C., who is a historian, journalist, writer, and activist. He is widely regarded as one of the most respected authorities on the life and legacy of civil rights era leader Malcolm X, whose original name was Malcolm Little and whose Muslim name was el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz. He was killed on Feb. 21, 1965 at the age of 39.
Muhammad will speak on “Journey for Justice in the Malcolm X Assassination Case.” His lecture centers on how one man’s quest and a Netflix documentary helped to exonerate two innocent men after 50 years.
Other speakers and performers in the Carter Arts and Lecture Series include Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Bluegrass Band on March 9 and Scotty Barnhart with the ABAC Jazz Ensemble on April 21.
