.@Netflix produced an entire 6-part series on #MalcolmX without any #women scholars. We would like to let #WhoKilledMalcomX directors & producers @philbhere, @Rdretzin, @yoshaylaharris & @Nani_Ife know that #Womenalsoknowhistory. We exist and refuse to be ignored. @wkmxdocseries

These are just a *few* of the many women scholars directors & producers @philbhere, @Rdretzin, @yoshaylaharris & @Nani_Ife could have approached for their series on #MalcolmX. Instead, they chose to prioritize men's voices. We challenge them to do better. @netflix
