SUMMARY:Exile & Emergence: 7 Leadership Lessons from the Hijra
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \n\n\n\nThis year marks 1\,500 lunar years since the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. \n\n\n\nAmong the most defining moments of his life and mission was the Hijra—the flight from Mecca to Medina.

These lessons\, rooted in faith\, resilience\, and vision\, continue to speak to the challenges of leadership in our time.. \n\n\n\nWhy come? \n\n\n\n•⁠ ⁠Unpack unlikely leadership moves from the Hijrah: navigating risk\, forging alliances\, building resilient institutions. \n\n\n\n•⁠ ⁠Practical takeaways for campus\, community work\, and professional life. \n\n\n\n•⁠ ⁠Marking 1\,500 lunar years since the birth of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. \n\n\n\nAll welcome. Arrive early for an HHC dinner. Please share widely. \n\n\n\nAbout Dr. Bilal Hassam: \n\n\n\nDr. Bilal Hassam is a writer\, cultural commentator\, and consultant at TheMuslimAgency.com\, exploring the intersections of Muslim identity\, politics\, and culture. A former doctor\, he works on storytelling\, representation\, and advocacy within communities worldwide. He has part of a team of researchers\, scholars and storytellers who are rewriting the history of the Hijrah – a pivotal moment in early Islamic history. \n\n\n\nFood Provided (Special Catering from HHC!)

SUMMARY:Gilder Lehrman Center Film Screening and Panel Discussion: "My Father’s Name\," a film by Susanna Styron
DESCRIPTION:Join Gilder Lehrman Center Director David W. Blight (Sterling Professor of History\, Yale) in conversation with the film’s director\, Susanna Styron YC ’76\, Crystal Feimster (Associate Professor of Black Studies and American Studies\, Yale University)\, and Willie James Jennings (Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Systematic Theology and Africana Studies Yale University Divinity School) \n\n\n\nAbout the film: https://myfathersname.com/ \n\n\n\nYears after Lee Ed Frazier’s death\, his daughter Jan made a shocking discovery: as a young man her father had participated in a lynching. As she attempts to uncover the truth about what happened\, Jan learns that this specific lynching was iconic in American history\, because photos of it were the first ever to be published in a national publication. Both Time and Life magazines carried the story and the photos as they reported on the anti-lynching bill that was before Congress at that very moment. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, she realizes that no names of the lynchers were ever published. Even the photographer was protected by a cloak of agreed-upon anonymity. Shaken by this stark reflection of white privilege and the brutality it sought to minimize\, Jan must now reckon with deeply conflicted feelings about the father she loved\, find a way to hold her family accountable and face the dawning awareness of her own unconscious racism. \n\n\n\nLearn more and register for the event here: https://macmillan.yale.edu/glc/events/2025-10-22/gilder-lehrman-center-film-screening-and-panel-discussion-my-fathers-name-2

SUMMARY:A GLC Symposium: "Public History in Authoritarian Times"
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \n\n\n\n“Promote\, as an object of primary importance\, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion\, it should be enlightened.” \n\n\n\nPresident George Washington\, Farewell Address\, September 19\, 1796 \n\n\n\nSince the 1970s\, public history has become an important dimension of the historical profession. For decades\, worldwide scholars\, museum staff\, community organizations\, and others have worked together to make historical education accessible and relevant to broad publics. By emphasizing the experiences and perspectives of previously underrepresented people\, public history research and programming offers nuanced and rich interpretations of dominant historical narratives of the past. \n\n\n\nThe work of public history combines traditional archival research with attention to objects\, untold stories of place\, memory\, multiple points of view\, community traditions and oral testimony. The field of public history provides possibilities for diverse and democratic understandings of the past. This is especially crucial for efforts to come to terms with the most challenging aspects of history. \n\n\n\nIncreasingly\, recent efforts to accurately and honestly grapple with historical complexity in classrooms and cultural institutions are under attack. These attacks on public education\, and on the independence and integrity of key institutions such as the National Park Service and the Smithsonian\, demonstrate that the current presidential administration in the United States is waging war against historical and critical truth-telling. In exchange\, they support uncritical “patriotic” education\, which emphasizes American nationalism and exceptionalism. Never before has the executive branch of government\, with its enormous resources\, waged such a battle against the practice of history and the diffusion of knowledge. \n\n\n\nLong committed to public historical education in its many forms\, the Gilder Lehrman Center seeks to provide a forum to discuss these alarming trends. Scholars and supporters will offer comparative perspectives on historical reckonings with authoritarianism\, while analyzing current realities with an eye toward building strong public history foundations for the future. We invite you to join us in November for respectful engagement with these topics.

SUMMARY:The Battle of Algiers @ 60
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \n\n\n\nGillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle of Algiers (1966) — a poetic and unflinching portrait of Algerian resistance to French colonial occupation — is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a screening and conversation exploring the legacy of this landmark film on its 60th Anniversary\, and the extraordinary influence it has had across the political spectrum: from the Black Panther Party and the Palestine Liberation Organization to right-wing military juntas and occupying armies\, including the U.S. Pentagon in the so-called “War on Terror.” \n\n\n\nSixty years after its release\, the film is more relevant and urgent than ever\, as the West seeks to maintain its dominance of the global order. In exploring the history and afterlives of The Battle of Algiers\, this conversation will reveal a larger global story of hope and rebellion — and show that far more than an artifact of the past\, the film is a prophetic testament to the present and a cautionary tale of an imperial future\, as perpetual war has been declared on permanent unrest.

SUMMARY:Fifth Annual Imam Hussein Lecture on Social Justice: "In the Footsteps of Imam Hussein: The Revolutionary Cosmopolitics of Malcolm X”
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \n\n\n\nMay 19\, 2025 marked the 100th birthday of Malcolm X\, an organic intellectual whose life and legacy have left an indelible mark on humanity. Despite death threats and constant government surveillance\, Malcolm X fearlessly advocated for the rights of the “wretched of the earth\,” connecting the struggles of Black communities in the United States with the global plight of colonized peoples. \n\n\n\nIt is therefore not surprising that many have drawn parallels between the assassination of Malcolm X and the martyrdom of Imam Hussein\, who refused to capitulate to the demands of a despotic caliph. In this lecture\, Dr. Siwaju proposes that Malcolm X articulated a revolutionary cosmopolitics that reflects the Husseini ethos of enjoining good and forbidding evil\, and of sacrifice in the service of truth and justice. \n\n\n\nDrawing on her research on Islam in the Colombian Pacific\, she will discuss how Afro-Colombian Shiʿi Muslims revere Malcolm X as a martyr\, placing him within the spiritual lineage of Imam Hussein.
