The highly inspirational and educational speech of our very own President, Salma Ahmed. In this, you can hear her discuss Black Radical Tradition, Black Prophetic Fire, Black Radical Imagination, and the highly interesting yet disturbing accounts of white colonization of the mind and implementation of European standards of beauty in the minds of black folk told by Assata Shakur in her autobiography (must read), among other things.
