Malcolm X and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Interview - 1964

Historic Voices: Global History and Culture

S03-E10 We feature an interview with Malcolm X and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This event occurred on March 27, 1964. The press interviews Malcolm X and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. amidst a Senatorial debate about the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Malcolm, calling the bill 'political chicanery,' wonders whether liberals are truly for Civil Rights legislation or not. Dr. King discusses possible direct action for making sure the bill is not filibustered. He expresses his intent to test the bill if and when it is passed. He also feels that the failure to pass the bill could lead to social disruption. The Civil Rights Act was signed into law on July 2, 1964.

In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, an overview of the Civil Rights Bill of 1964, and then a pair of biographies of the two leaders.

Let us now tune our radio dial to 1964 and listen to Malcolm X and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as they discuss civil rights issues.
