Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. were contemporaneous civil rights icons of the 1960s, and they had very different images in the eyes of the general public. In this episode we look at Spike Lee's biopic Malcolm X (1992) and Ava DuVernay's Selma (2014), which, while not a biopic specifically, gives us a close look at Dr. King's motivations and methods. And we discover that philosophically, the two were much closer together than most people think.
