Khalil Gibran Muhammad is one of America’s leading public intellectuals on civil rights and the African-American experience. Currently at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Muhammad directed the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the world’s leading library and archive of global black history, for five years. His work examines the broad intersections of race, democracy, inequality, and criminal justice in the modern U.S. A Chicago native, Muhammad will discuss the successes and failures of civil rights, and their relation to the ideals and convictions at the heart of our republic.
