Remembrace of Marable Planned

Tue, Apr 05, 2011

An informal gathering for those who wish to share their memories of Manning Marable will take place at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, April 12, in the fourth-floor lounge in Alumni Hall at Colgate.

Marable, who taught at Colgate and founded its African-American Studies program, died Saturday. He was 60.

A more formal event celebrating Marable's work and his lasting contribution to Colgate and beyond is being planned for the fall.

Marable is survived by his wife, Leith Mullings, who is a professor of anthropology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, three children, Malaika, of Silver Spring, Md.; Sojourner, of Atlanta; and Joshua, of Boulder; a sister Madonna, of Dayton; three grandchildren; and two stepchildren.
