History documents only one passing encounter between 1960s civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, but a play being filmed for streaming by Point Loma Playhouse later this month imagines the real conversation the men might have had.
“The Meeting,” written by Jeff Stetson, is about the how the two Black men of different philosophies debate how to solve the searing problem of systemic racial discrimination against Black Americans. King, a Christian minister who was killed in 1968, favored the means of peaceful protest. Malcolm X, a Black Muslim leader who was killed in 1965, favored a far more aggressive approach.
