An alumnus of Howard University, Mr. Muhammad’s scholarly contributions have directly impacted biographies, documentaries, and research about Malcolm X. Muhammad is featured in the Netflix documentary miniseries "Who Killed Malcolm X?" which historians and commentators say is largely responsible for the reinvestigation of the activist’s assassination and the exoneration of two men convicted for the murder. Muhammad also played an integral role in facilitating interviews that contributed to the publication of Manning Marable’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, "Malcolm X, A Life of Reinvention."
