THE NOWSROOM!
I recently attended a lecture by photorapher Jules Allen, where he mentioned Beat poet Bob Kaufman
several times. This brought back memories of some encounters I had with him in 1975.
Happy Belated Birthday Bob! (April 18, 1925 - January 12, 1986)

THE BALLAD OR THE BULLETIN
Manning Marable's recent biography on Malcolm X - Al Hajji Malik Al Shabaz presented Malcolm scholars and devotees information that, although derived from sources previously unavailble to the public,
such as his personal traveling diaries and letters to Elijah Muhummad, raised a firestorm of criticism because of his interpreations of those documents.
Third World Press responded to Manning's bio by organizing a compilation of critiques
and an extended commentary on scholarship and the internationalistic revolutionary black nationalism that malcolm began to espouse in his last year of life. Edited by Herb Boyd, Ron Daniels, Maulana Karenga, and Haki R. Madhubuti, with
38 contributors.
