Join an audience that loves talking back to history to discuss the revolutionary Malcolm X with Cynthia King, PhD chair of the Department of Communications at Furman University whose current research explores the rhetoric of African American thought.

Malcolm X is still seen as one of the most controversial figures — from one of the most highly charged periods in American history. His assassination and those of JFK, MLK and RFK rocked the nation. There is nothing more powerful and revolutionary than a martyr’s cause. Who was this ghetto hustler turned human rights activist? – Black nationalist? Freedom fighter? Racist? Demagogue? Religious zealot? – Let’s talk about it.

This event is NOT a costumed performance. Malcolm X will be performed by Darrick Johnson in the Chautauqua History Alive Festival (June 14 - 23) Free event and parking.

Conducted by Hugh Ferguson Floyd, music professor and director of the Furman Singers, the 50-voice ensemble continues a tradition of performance over 70 years old. The Furman Singers perform a diverse program of sacred and secular music for a cappella choir and in combination with Furman’s commanding Fisk organ. The concert features the music of Anglican composers Benjamin Britten and Herbert Howells, classic works of Palestrina, Mozart, Brahms and Fauré, and a selection of African-American spirituals by widely-published composer William L. Dawson.

The Singers are accompanied by Furman music professor and university organist Charles Tompkins, and student pianist, Robert Cushing of Decatur, Georgia.
