Xeon Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Brother Manning Marable just passed away after a long battle with lung complications. He was only 60 years old. But the scholary contributions he made cannot be understated. I, like so many other black Americans, knew little if anything about this brilliant black scholar. Sadly, he did not see the final publication of his meticulously researched and documented biography of Malcolm X (which has just been released). His biography of our Shining Black Prince (given by Ossie Davis) should be at the top of your books to get list. This is one of numerous videos of brother Manny at Democracy Now.

Troy Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks for sharitng this Xeon. I introduced Dr. Marable during a panel once several years ago. i saw a video of it once -- I'll try to find it. Manning was well known on AALBC.com: http://aalbc.com/authors/manning_marable.htm He spoke at my local book store few weeks ago. What a surprise.
