A dramatic performance titled “The Meeting”by playwright Jeff Stetson will give festival goers insight into an imagined meeting between Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King.

A computer workshop “A Malcolm X Festival” will demonstrate ways and means of building databases and websites that pertain to the area of black studies.

 

The Malcolm X Festival at the University of Nebraska at Omaha brings to Omaha a forum to further explore and expand awareness of Malcolm X and his significance to the nation and our history.

Born in Omaha, Malcolm X’s continuing growth, change and transcendence have become a model of human possibility. The Malcolm X Festival will bring together leading Malcolm X scholars, Omaha area students and artists, to continue to build on the teachings and issues Malcolm X brought to the forefront of American society.
