Six decades since both Malcolm X's death and the publication of his autobiography, Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr. (James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of African American Studies at Princeton), reframes the leader not merely as a historical icon, but as a model for self-transformation and moral courage. 

In exploring Malcolm's spiritual and intellectual legacies, Dr. Glaude shows how through acts of individual character and collective action, we can all learn to confront uncomfortable truths in turbulent times. This is open to all in the Princeton community regardless of identity.

Geared towards student-athletes and student groups and organizations, this community gathering hopes to alleviate reading week stress and allow students to come together. We will feature a mixer, game night, and finger foods! This is open to all students regardless of identity.

The event is inspired by Black Consciousness Day, a national holiday in Brazil observed every November 20. Although rooted in the Brazilian context, our aim is to create a shared celebration of diasporic Blackness across the Americas. The name Confluências Amefricanas echoes Lélia Gonzalez’s vision of Amefricanidade, which emphasizes the cultural, political, and historical connections between Africa and the Americas.

The evening will include music, dance and poetry readings - all designed to create a space of joy, collectivity, remembrance, reflection, and action.

Open to all regardless of identity.

Global Haiti: The International Gang Problem is an event centered on discussing the historic and current violence that has been perpetuated against Haiti for the past century. The event seeks to address the current violence and turmoil in Haiti by situating the most recent round of violence in the context of the complex history of Haiti's exploitation. We will start from the history of the Haitian Revolution, its forced reparations to France, Pan-Africanist movements in the United States alongside the struggle of the Haitians under various foreign interventions, and finally the geopolitical landscape of Haiti today to contextualize the current gang problem. In the end encouraging students, staff, and faculty to engage in meaningful dialogue about what Haiti’s story and current status represents. Open to all.
