Museum's Next Event

"Black Liberation Across World History" with Dr. Omar Ali, UNC Greensboro
Friday, Feb. 21, 2025
4 to 6 p.m.

The history of African American political leadership in the struggle for freedom may be understood within a broader world-historical context. Who were some of the key leaders from around the world who foreshadowed the more familiar figures of Ella Baker, Malcolm X, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? From Africa and South Asia to the Caribbean and Latin America, black leaders—including Kandake Amanirenas, Bilal ibn Rabah, Queen Nzinga, Malik Ambar, Benkos Biohó, and Nanny of the Maroons—pioneered a broad range of methods in the struggle for freedom and justice.
