The Enemies of the State program highlights activists from the 1960s and 1970s and offers an intimate setting in which members of The Ohio State University community and the larger Columbus community have the opportunity to talk with some of the country’s most notorious activists who dedicated themselves to pressuring America to live up to its highest ideals as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The US Organization is a Black cultural nationalist group founded by Maulana Karenga and Hakim Jamal (cousin of Malcolm X) in 1955. Founded after Malcolm X’s death, the organization’s purpose was to promote African American cultural unity. Karenga’s ideas later culminated into the creation of Kawanzaa.
