“When you select heroes about which black people should be taught, let them be black heroes who have died fighting for the benefit of black people.” So spoke Malcolm X; perhaps those words were the impetus for today’s free daylong conference at the Harold Washington Library, Malcolm X and Afrocentricity: Education for Liberation. Three panels of local scholars and activists will look at Malcolm X’s continuing relevance at 9:30, 12:30, and 2:30; conference registration starts at 9. The library’s at 400 S. State. Call 663-0839 for details.
