On Sacrifice: Lessons from The Audubon

A commemoration of the life and martyrdom of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz—Malcolm X (d. Feb. 21, 1965).

For many of us, sacrifice is a concept rooted in stories of old in far-off places. However, Malcolm X’s path is a contemporary story that inspires us to struggle for Truth and Justice in the here-and-now.

Join us on Saturday, February 20th at 7:00 pm CST with Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans to explore the concept of sacrifice through the life—and death—of Malcolm X.
