Wesport Center for the Arts Presents: The Meeting

In collaboration with the Westport Center for the Arts, the Black Archives of Mid-America will celebrate the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday with a reading of the play "The Meeting." Kansas City actors Walter Coppage and Tosin Morohunfola adopt the roles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X in an imagined meeting of the two civil rights leaders. Set shortly before Malcolm X’s assassination, the two men discuss and debate their respective approaches in the civil rights movement.
