Malcolm X and Martin Luther King
Many years ago, I remember seeing a drama on the night before MLK was assassinated, where both met in a fictional hotel, and argued together about which approach was best to gain civil rights. IIRC, this was the first time they had met--I believe that was part of the point with it being as such.

It was put on as a videotaped drama, with minimal props or scenery just two very powerful men discussing what they would like to see happen for black Americans.

Does anyone recall this? It might have been on PBS, but to be honest, I can't remember. I believe--again, I could be wrong--it was someone like Brock Peters who played Malcolm X, but I can't really recall much else. Anyone who saw it, or who knows more about it?

1. I found it!

If it ever becomes available on DVD, it's excellent.
