15. How Malcom X Inspired Me to Join the Struggle for Dignity and Liberation with Dr. Lewis Gordon

On this episode, we discuss The Autobiography of Malcolm X (as told to Alex Haley) with Dr. Lewis Gordon. Dr. Gordon is a philosopher at the University of Connecticut, who has a wonderful ability to tell stories and describe the meaning of this book for his life. We already loved The Autobiography of Malcolm X, but Lewis brought us to a wholly new and deep appreciation for it. This conversation includes Lewis's stories of teachers who believed in him and ones who didn't, how to turn everything into a learning opportunity, and why everyone needs a community in order to shine.
