Join us for this special lecture presented by Geoff Pope: "Why Malcolm X is Still Relevant"
Many of the problems Malcolm X discussed 60 years ago still exist. Why uplifting his message is needed more than ever today.
This lecture is one of two lectures presented by Geoff in collaboration with the Malcolm X Foundation and Opera Omaha. It is expected to have a mature audience for this lecture (recommended 18 and older). Light refreshment will be served.
