Malcolm X

[jbor]

I'm glad this topic came up. The Pynchon relevance (if the title of the 
project isn't enough!) would be the strong commitment to the civil rights
movement evident throughout his work but particularly in the article 'A
Journey Into the Mind of Watts' and the short story 'The Secret
Integration'.

    The proposed project Jst Bcz Ur Paranoid... Web will take as its point
    of departure the X-PRZ installation JST BCZ UR PARANOID DNT THNK THYR NT
    AFTR U (MALCOLM X PT. 1) which toured the US from February 1993 through
    March 1994. The work included twenty six 4X5 foot photographic
    lightboxes and two channels of video material with sound. As a web site
    the work will be presented as a non-linear reading experience consisting
    of fragments from proposals, catalog text from the original exhibition,
    text sources and inspirations, slide images of single photographs and
    documentation of the work as installed at various venues, reviews and
    commentary from outside and inside the group, and audio files. (Note:
    Look out for the audio files. They're indiscriminately buried among the
    text and image links.)

> On November 1-4, 1990, over 3,000 people from 24 countries met in New

> a Legacy of Struggle. The conference marked the last time that "major
> figures such as Alex Haley, John Henry Clarke, Betty Shabazz, and C.
> Eric Lincoln gathered together." The University of Toledo Africana
> Studies Program, under the direction of Dr. Abdul Alkalimat, has
> begun to place online the full audio proceedings of the conference,
> accompanied by study guides and links to further information. At
> present, only the first two sessions are available, but additional
> sessions will be added one per week over the next six months.
