Malcolm X

I saw a really fantastic play on Saturday night called One Night in Miami. It is about Jim Brown, Sam Cooke, Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali, and Malcom X and an evening spent they spent in a Miami hotel room after Cassius Clay became the Heavyweight Champion of the World.

Part of the plot involves Sam Cooke and his transformation from seemingly "simple" songwriter and performer to the inspiring contributor to the Civil Rights Movment thanks to his song, "A Change is Gonna Come." Song below.

Note to self: read more about Malcolm X. I know surprising little about this very complex man.
