The film Malcolm & Martin, produced by New Islamic Directions, presents lectures by the highly regarded African American intellectuals and public theologians, Dr. Cornel West and Imam Zaid Shakir. West and Shakir explore the legacies of both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr., persuasively arguing their relevance for today and the future. The film will be followed by discussion.
