HAAMI Outing: The Meeting
HAAMI Members and Staff Attend The Meeting.
Event details:
February 3, 2017 | Halloran Centre, the Orpheum Theater, Memphis, TN
Hattiloo Theatre's The Meeting
An eloquent depiction of a hypothetical meeting between Malcolm X and Martin Luther
King, Jr., Hattiloo Theatre's The Meeting illuminates the ongoing debate between the
two most towering figures of the Civil Rights Movement: how to achieve the same goal
– equality for their people – through very different means. King's unflappable commitment
to nonviolent civil disobedience is repeatedly challenged by Malcolm's belief that
only provocation and retaliation can fundamentally shake the foundations of America's
racist society. The men's mutual respect of the other, especially the willingness
to martyr themselves for the cause, foreshadows the iconic positions the men hold
in American society today. Photograph: HAAMI Member and Staff Attend The Meeting.
