Edward Said's Legacy
by Professor Andrew Rubin

Prof. Andrew N. Rubin was the last doctoral student of Said's and worked as his research assistant from 1995-2002. Said died in September 2003, while Rubin was in a coma from a catastrophic injury. These are Rubin's first public remarks that he delivered after his recovery from a coma.

The Said memorial was held in Washington, DC, in June 2004 at Reverend Walter Fauntroy's New Bethel Baptist Church, where Fauntroy, Martin Luther King, and others organized the March on Washington in 1963.

Rubin's discussion of Palestine and South Africa was part of his recognition of Fauntroy's achievements as a civil rights leader and a major force in the anti-apartheid movements. Ralph Nader, Danny Glover were in attendance at this memorial service.

Several months after his return to public life, Rubin resumed teaching at Georgetown University in the fall of 2004, where he is a professor of English. He has written and spoken widely on Said's work.
