Join an audience that loves talking back to history to discuss the revolutionary Malcolm X with Cynthia King, PhD chair of the Department of Communications at Furman University whose current research explores the rhetoric of African American thought.
Malcolm X is still seen as one of the most controversial figures — from one of the most highly charged periods in American history. His assassination and those of JFK, MLK and RFK rocked the nation. There is nothing more powerful and revolutionary than a martyr’s cause. Who was this ghetto hustler turned human rights activist? – Black nationalist? Freedom fighter? Racist? Demagogue? Religious zealot? – Let’s talk about it.
This event is NOT a costumed performance. Malcolm X will be performed by Darrick Johnson in the Chautauqua History Alive Festival (June 14 – 23) Free event and parking.

Event Info:
Sponsored by PFLAG Spartanburg! This film tactfully examines the conflict between the LGBTQ community and religious communities.
Winner of the Audience Choice award at the Tampa Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, this film really explores the conflict between religious groups and the LGBTQ community in an honest and meaningful way. It also explores what the LGBTQ community initially looks like when you are still using the lens that comes from an evangelical background, which is something that a lot of us can relate to.
I hope you can join us for this amazing film; we will be having discussions before and after the film as well.
Here are remarks from Tugg, who is handling the logistics of this event:
===================================================
