malcolm x, describe him physically? >> tall, masculine. >> tall, masculine, thin, too, right institute really thin, whereas martin luther ki eer kis short and chubby, right? he's got very full cheeks, he appears to have soft skin. you know, he's shorter than most of the people around him. that was sort of a surprise, wasn't it? you think of him as a giant. right? >> but in fact, he was shorter than i am. and i'm short. and they're so different that he looks like the soft guy and malcolm x looks like the hard, tough guy. and malcolm x had been a criminal. you know, he had been a thief. he had spent time in prison. he's got that sort of romance about him that, you know, he walked on the dark side. and then come to a different way of seeing the world. yeah, kareem? >> he accused king of being an uncle tom and his followers. and he constantly preached black milltance. >> exactly. so he -- he had the mantle of being the real militant. and martin luther king and his followers were uncle toms. the people who would give away th

someone like malcolm x before he left the nation of islam, mind you, is not holding out that kind of hope, so this is -- this is a very personal statement that needs to be viewed on its own terms and not necessarily -- i mean, there are connections between what nina simone was saying and what james baldwin was saying and what dr. king was saying, but i think we make a mistake if we lump expressions of anger into a monolithic category, and i think that point will be clear later on. the sncc freedom singers were part of this tradition of civil rights freedom songs, we shall overcome, a well-known version, but this one is a little more topical and reflects a man sent to the united states by the state department to show odinga that racial progress was being made, so sncc kind of takes him under their wing and in some ways the song, like, you know, nina simone just did, reflects sncc's frustration with the federal government and their sense that they are betrayed and unprotected in the face of violence. and in some ways, you know, sncc is non-violent. they are sort of having a fantasy ide

here you have malcolm x who visited ghana after he left the nation of islam, when he was trying to start a new political formation, a more radical formation that really sort of engaged critically with the u.s. foreign and domestic policy. here he is with maya angelou who tells the story of being asked by malcolm to work for his new organization and then coming back to the united states only to find out that he had been assassinated. and here is marian macaba, a south african vocalist who symbolized the connection between the u.s. civil rights movement and the anti-apartheid struggle in south africa. she was brought -- sort of brought by the impresario harry belafonte, and she worked with some prominent african-american musicians like nita simone for the duration of their careers. now, i really want you to -- did you take a look at this one, this -- this particular image? it's a really striking image that shows how black music was a lightning rod for segregationists, and it became a real target for those who in the white south were behind the whole movement of massive resistance to desegr
