A Southern Panther: Conversations with Malik Rahim

A dialogue on hope and persistence between a movement mentor and author, educator, and organizer, James R. Tracy. Malik Rahim served as the chair of the New Orleans Black Panther Party for Self Defense. Since that time he has never stopped organizing. In a series of candid interviews with James R. Tracy, Rahim discusses his involvement in struggles to defend Public Housing, free political prisoners, and rebuild New Orleans post–Katrina. His unique approach to organizing—updating the politics of intercommunalism, rainbow coalitions, and municipalism—offer vital lessons for today's social movements. Also includes interviews conducted by Malik Ismail of The Vanguard Show podcast, Jessica Gingrich of the Many Roads to Here podcast, and Mansa Musa of the Rattling the Bars radio show on The Real News Network.

Legacy Left publishes small books interviewing movement elders about the lessons they want to share with the next generations. What radical visions of the past will provide inspiration for today? What old strategies should be jettisoned? How does one maintain their political commitments throughout the decades?

We are nostalgic for nothing, yet against amnesia.

We learn from the past while charting new paths and following new visions.
