On March 7th the Seattle Opera in partnership with the King County Library System and NAAM presented A Conversation With Ilyasah Shabazz. It was an inspiring evening with Ilyasah Shabazz, who is the daughter of civil rights icon Malcolm X, also known as Malik el-Shabazz. The conversation with Converge Media’s TraeAnna Holiday included reflection on the legacy of one of the most influential figures in history through the lens of his daughter’s unique perspective. During the evening she brought Malcolm X’s narrative to life, weaving together her personal insights behind his biography and underscoring the enduring power of his message. The talk provided a rare opportunity to connect with history and be inspired to continue his work to resist oppression, challenge injustice, and fight for social and political equality. The evening also included performances by youth from Speak With Purpose as well as a book signing
