Biography 📅 18 March 1964 📍 United States

At Harvard's Leverett House Forum, Malcolm debated scholars and described the failures of US racial reform as a crisis of power, not simply a matter of prejudice. The event drew a large audience and was reported by the student newspaper. His presence at an elite university put a Black nationalist critique before students who might otherwise encounter it through hostile media framing.
