Genius

Malcolm's release from prison and King's graduation from Boston University begin their respective journeys to change the nation, but also to begin a budding rivalry.

Malcolm meets the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who takes him under his wing after recognising his potential with the NOI; Martin brings Coretta into the King family.

As the Bus Boycott intensifies, Martin and his new family face safety concerns; Malcolm builds space for Muslims in the Harlem community, meeting new member Betty Saunders.

After an attack leaves Martin grappling with his mortality, he must confront his ability to lead; Malcolm sees an opportunity to grow the profile of the NOI.

The pressures and expectations of public and private life take a toll on Coretta and Betty.

The March on Washington and the Kennedy Assassination have lasting effects for both men.
