Citizen King
Boston public television producer Henry Morgenthau III's "The Negro and the American Promise," featuring interviews with Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin, made headlines in spring 1963. The program aired in a climate of racial conflict, just months after Alabama governor
George Wallace's defiant support of "segregation forever," and before the March on Washington.
PBS is airing these interviews with Dr. Kenneth Clark, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin as part of their Citizen King program. These interviews are great history, interesting philosophy and cutting commentary on race relations in our day today. Watching Dr. King and Malcolm X comment on each others respective movements is especially interesting. Check out these great videos at the PBS web site.
