The UT professor of Africana studies has spent some time developing what many consider to be the world's most comprehensive Malcolm X Internet research site. Now this resource is being expanded to include an interactive lecture series based on that 1990 conference. Alkalimat's students will be utilizing the site in class for the remainder of this semester, with a distance learning course planned for fall semester. Resurrection doesn't mean atoms to atoms. The cyber-Malcolm has a new embodiment in bytes.
Atoms become bytes.
The site aims to not only renew discussion about Malcolm X, it also is a means to allow many lost voices to be heard again. That can mean a lot of things. The Africana studies expert has high hopes for the future of his resource. He believes it ultimately could lead to a 'virtual Malcolm X,' with those interested in tapping into the man's knowledge could virtually interact with the slain civil rights leader. This is kindergarten.
