As a part of Dr. Jackson’s two-day stay in New York at NYU he partook in a panel discusion on race. Here’s a collection of Google videos that give an account of pertinent words. To quote Dr. Jackson,
“My view is that race is a social construct, but my view is also…, so what?!“
Links here and here. Enjoy.
Update
Due to learning that the complete videos for Dr. Jackson’s lecture was not uploaded in its entirety, it has been retracted here as well as on other sites. As per Dr. Jackson’s request, we would as that anyone who has uploaded the videos, remove them. You can see the reason for his request here.
Here’s another online lecture by professor Jackson at the Harvard Divinity School. The format is an embedded RealPlayer file [just warning as some Firefox users have complained of bugs with these]. Enjoy the lecture here. Hat tip to Khalifa for this one.
Here’s a spot on the Net that features some posts/commentary by Dr. Jackson. Hat tip to Hood.
This is a really big file [153 MB], but it’s well worth the download time. Jackson gives a talk at the Western Knight Center for Specialized Journalism entitled, Covering Islam and Muslims in America, November 6th, 2005. Download the file here (Windows Media Player required). We are so lucky here in America to have someone like Sherman who is a lightning rod for our voice - to push forward the cause for developing a truly unique, Islamic and American voice for Muslims living here in America. Keeping you up to date on the latest Sherman Jackson news, this is Marqas reporting from the Manrilla News Room.
