Season 4

MLK/X

In a first for the franchise, the new season of the Emmy Award-winning anthology series focuses on two iconic geniuses: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Genius: MLK/X explores the formative years, pioneering accomplishments, dueling philosophies and key personal relationships of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. While King advanced racial equality through nonviolent protest, Malcolm X argued forcefully for Black empowerment, identity and self-determination. With their formidable wives, Coretta Scott King and Betty Shabazz, by their sides, King and Malcolm X became synonymous with the civil rights era and the fight for racial and economic justice. While they met only once and often challenged each other's views, neither would have been as successful without the other.
