The Meeting
MLK Week Keynote Event
What would have happened if Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had met before they were assassinated just three years apart? This intriguing idea is the subject of the critically acclaimed play The Meeting — a powerful drama about the lives, philosophies and times of these two leaders. The Meeting is an emotional, clever, and intense confrontation between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. It gives factual, but surprising information about the two men, their commitment to human rights and the times. Written by Jeff Stetson, The Meeting has been produced throughout the United States and Europe and received numerous awards including a Louis B. Mayer Award and eight NAACP Theatre Awards.
