Ep.1 What Would Malcolm Say? With Dr Ilyasah Shabazz

First episode in a special series of the Make it Plain podcast, ‘What Would Malcolm Say?’ where Kehinde Andrews explains what Malcolm’s body of work tells us about what is going on in the present. Each episode will also feature a full interview with some featured in the documentary Nobody Can Give You Freedom, which was independently made by Make it Plain.

You can watch the entire documentary for free at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZBZyaruoGo&t=136s  Film was made by Michael Ellis Films https://www.youtube.com/michaelellisfilms  

This week Kehinde introduces the series and starts off getting a few things off his chest since it has been a while since he did a podcast. He covers Trump 2.0, the con of academics using complicated language to justify their salaries, and the what Malcolm would have said about the how we organise following the fifth anniversary of the death of George Floyd.
