Professor Griff will give a lecture tomorrow at 6 p.m. in the Student Center’s Center Theater in conjunction with an exhibit about Malcolm X.
The exhibit contains more than 200 artifacts on the life and legacy of Malcolm X. Original letters, handbills, photographs, newspapers, magazines, figurines and other memorabilia will be featured in the exhibit. The displays start with items from slavery that build a context around what produced a revolutionary mind such as Malcolm X in America. The displays end with his influence on the powerful conscious voices in hip-hop culture.
The exhibit will be shown in Student Center room 206 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday.
Professor Griff was a member of the hip-hop group Public Enemy. The group has been named on Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Greatest Artists of All Time list.
