Here is his website on Malcolm X. Our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. He was a great scholar and a kind man. He will be missed.
Dr. Manning Marable’s death is indeed a loss. I’ve cited his work, and his contribution to the black struggle will live forever. My condolences to his wife and children.
I’m not sure when I was first introduce to his work, but I’m sure I’ve quoted him.
This is a great loss. Condolences indeed.
