Two new films directed by African-Americans are essential guides to the
Black struggle in the USA during the 1960s. Sam Pollard’s documentary
“MLK/FBI” covers J. Edgar Hoover’s racist attempt to “neutralize” Martin
Luther King Jr. while Regina King’s narrative film “One Night in Miami”
imagines the conversations that took place between Malcolm X, Muhammad
Ali, NFL legend Jim Brown and soul singer Sam Cooke at the Hampton Hotel
in Miami on the evening of February 25, 1964. That was the night that
Cassius Clay knocked out Sonny Liston and became world heavyweight
champion and who announced to the world the next day that he was now to
be called Muhammad Ali.
