In this talk, he explores how colonialism continues today in a framework that Malcolm X calls 'Benevolent Imperialism'.

Each talk in this series will reflect on the following:

What is ‘unprecedented’ about this current moment in which there has been an outpouring of support in response to Black Lives Matter?

Are we failing to engage with a long history of critical thinking on race and racism, adopting a type of presentism in our responses to the current moment?
