Tribute to El Hajj Maalik Shabazz (Malcolm X)

“When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing
under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever
you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is
going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't
believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A
man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire
. . . or preserve his freedom."

In this important phase of existence, with endless war perpetrated
and instigated by the lead nation of the coalition of the willing,
where people are scared to speak out against illegal wars, we give you
an un-missable event to honour a man who did just that and was
labelled the ‘extremist’ of his time, but his legacy lives on
because to millions, he was a hero that spoke out for the oppressed
people world-wide.

The Salaam project welcomes you to an unforgettable evening of
edutainment where we learn about the man, his life and his mission and
how he has affected people world-wide delivered to you in the form of
spoken word poetry, hip hop as well as inspiring lectures.

Speakers include Sister Yvonne Ridley - The Multi Award winning
Journalist!!!! Owen Shahada -The Award winning Director of the
Documentary best Seller '500years Later' and Executive Producer of
'The Shadows'.Imam Abdul Malik Jafar, a true community activist(on the
East Coast and West Coast) who'll will be enlightening us on how
Malcolm X affected activists in America, (and around the world) he
will talk about the civil rights in America and who are really
cleaning up the ‘hood’. Also in attendance will be sister Adeela
Shabazz from the Muslim Womans Helpline. We also have a live link up
to America from a well known person, but your going to have to wait to
see who it is……….it will be amazing, guaranteed.
