Rethinking the Black Freedom Movement: No Box: Part 2 (University of Illinois)
As Abdul Alkalimat concludes his lecture series, he answers the question “Why rethink the Black Liberation Movement?” There are still contradictions and crises today which are pushing hard. It seems as though a new upsurge is coming. This offers the possibility of a new upsurge, but new theory is needed. What can be learned from these experiences? What methodology will ensure that people all remain on the same page? What are the immediate action and strategic plans? In this lecture, Abdul Alkalimat talks about how people can affect a transformation of everyday communities through collective and individual actions.

Rethinking the Black Freedom Movement: No Box: Part 1 (University of Illinois)
The capitalist democratic system in America has been stacked against black people from the start. But this system is changing rapidly. Information technology is increasingly making labor obsolete, and one question raised is whether this means the end of the “box” of racist, capitalist society. Is it really possible to live with “no box”, in a society with no racism, no class exploitation, and no limitations on freedom? Perhaps not, but these utopian visions of a world without a “box” can still provide constructive ideas and values. In this lecture, Abdul Alkalimat talks about utopian visions of the world posed by Religion, Communism, Cyberspace, and Posthumanism.

Rethinking the Black Freedom Movement: New Box: Part 2 (University of Illinois)
In the 1960s, outright insurrection in urban areas changed the political landscape of the US. Non-violence gave way to a more militant approach inspired by third world Communist movements. Instead of a black community located in the black belt south, cities became the new focal points for the black community. The “Street Force” consisted of revolutionary movements that were resolutely committed to black liberation. Continuing his lecture “New Box”, Abdul Alkalimat explores how urban revolutionaries inspired by Communism formed movements that shaped American society

Rethinking the Black Freedom Movement: New Box: Part 1 (University of Illinois)
The theory and practice of capitalism are both very different things. In theory, capitalism distributes labor and wealth rationally. In practice, racism and capitalism intersect and produce unemployment and inequity. 20th century civil rights organizations fought against issues of racism, but did not address issues raised by capitalism. The issues of capitalism and imperialism were instead addressed by communist movements from all over the world. In this lecture, Abdul Alkalimat discusses the 20th century history of Communism and the origins of the new communist movement in the United States.

Rethinking the Black Freedom Movement: Out The Box: Part 2 (University of Illinois)
Abdul Alkalimat continues his discussion on escaping racism and intolerance. Malcolm X was an important figure in African American studies because he was outside of the box in many ways. Malcolm’s life had many phases and many names- Malcolm Little, Detroit Red, Malcolm X, and Omowale were all different names taken on as Malcolm X’s philosophy evolved. In this lecture, Abdul Alkalimat talks about the life of Malcolm X, how his story maps to the black experience, and what it teaches about black agency.
