Manning Marable, a pioneering scholar and author of a highly anticipated biography of Malcolm X, died Friday. He was due to speak with us about his new book, out today. Joining us to discuss Marable’s accomplishments and his final work are Michael Eric Dyson, Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University, and Melissa Harris-Perry, Associate Professor of Politics and African-American studies at Princeton University. Marable considered “Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention” book his life’s work. It is the definitive account of Malcolm X drawn from primary sources, explains Michael Eric Dyson.
