We invite you to a special screening of ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI... alongside our collaborators, Malcolm X Memorial Foundation. This incredible film will begin with an introduction from the Executive Director of the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation, JoAnna LeFlore-Ejike.
About the film
Set on a fictional night in 1964, the film follows Cassius Clay to Miami’s Hampton House Motel as he celebrates the boxing match that won him the title Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World. There he meets three friends: Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown, and discussion turns to the civil rights movement and the cultural upheaval of the 60s.
