DEI Film Club: One Night in Miami

March 15, 2021 at 7:00 pm via Zoom

Based on a play by Kemp Powers, One Night in Miami is set on a historic night in 1964 when Cassius Clay celebrated winning the world heavyweight boxing champion title with three of his closest friends: singer Sam Cooke, activist Malcolm X, and football star Jim Brown. Directed by Regina King, the movie reimagines the true story of what happens the night the four men celebrated Clay's victory before he became known as Muhammad Ali.

Watch the film on your own time, then join the discussion on March 15th. Available via Amazon Prime. Hosted by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee.

Please RSVP to Debbie to receive the Zoom link.
