One
\nNight in Miami<\/a><\/i>. I hope to do so soon, as it looks like a fascinating
\nway to reimagine all four of its central historical figures as well as contexts
\nrelated to race in America, the 1960s, celebrity and cultural impact, and more.
\nBut what I especially want to highlight here is something that I discussed a
\nbit in yesterday\u2019s post on Selma<\/i> but that it seems like this film
\ndevelops even further: the reminder that any historical figure, including if
\nnot especially one as individually iconic as Malcolm X, existed in social
\ncommunities. More exactly, One Night in Miami<\/i> seeks to examine the
\nfriendships between its four focal figures, and thus when it comes to Malcolm
\nto consider how such relationships might have shaped as well as been shaped by
\nhis personal, political, religious, activist, etc. interests and actions. It
\ncan be very hard with such icons to remember and engage with those human sides
\nof their lives and identities\u2014but I believe cultural works are uniquely
\npositioned to help us do so, and I look forward to checking out this unique and
\ncompelling such cultural work very soon. <\/span><\/p>\nSpecial

\ndo you think?
