Prof. Daniel McNeil shares reflections on recent film screening and Q&A

Carleton University hosted two guests during Black History Month who are renowned for their explorative, innovative and provocative work: Jalal Nuriddin (a founding member of the legendary Last Poets), and Malik Al Nasir (a poet shaped and encouraged by giants of the spoken word genre such as Jalal and Gil Scott-Heron).

Two members of the audience, Prof. Daniel McNeil, an Associate Professor of History and Migration and Diaspora Studies who helped to organize the event, and Fazeela Jiwa, a community member and writer, shared their reflections about the politics and poetics of the evening with the FASS blog.
