The only time Martin Luther King and Malcolm X met was on March 26, 1964, at the U.S. Capitol, where the two participated in the Senate debate on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This drama story will explore the two men's formative years, groundbreaking achievements, competing philosophies and key relationships. While King promoted racial equality through nonviolent protest, Malcolm X spoke out for black empowerment, identity and self-determination. With formidable wives Coretta Scott King and Betty Shabazz by their side, King and X became synonymous with the civil rights era and the fight for racial and economic justice. Although they only met once and often challenged each other's views, neither would have been as successful without the other.
