2016 • Eqbal Ahmad Lecture • Khalil Gibran Muhammad • Hampshire College

Khalil Gibran Muhammad delivered the 2016 Eqbal Ahmad lecture at Hampshire Colege on October 16, 2016. The Harvard Kennedy School professor of history, race, and public policy said the trial of O.J. Simpson and the 1991 beating of Rodney King by Los Angeles police compelled him as a student to try and understand racial criminalization and its history in the United States. Those incidents had the same sort of impact on him that the current generation has felt through the killings of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, the imprisonment of Marissa Alexander, and countless other examples of black lives wronged by the criminal justice system in recent years. How to enact that reform, though, has been a challenge for more than a century. It’s a challenge exacerbated, he said, by the use of statistics and a reliance on empirical investigation that, despite their scientific grounding, have long shown themselves malleable to human ideology. Attempts to eliminate individual prejudices and fallibility through numbers and legal structures built on computerized analysis and dispassionate research, he says, have proved over the past several decades to be as imperfect as were previous approaches.
