One Night in Miami....

In 1964, Cassius Clay won the world heavy boxing championship. The next day, he announced that he had joined the Nation of Islam, and became Muhammed Ali. But in between those two events, he sat in a hotel room eating vanilla ice cream with Jim Brown, Sam Cooke, and Malcolm X. In his play One Night in Miami..., Star Trek: Discovery writer Kemp Powers explore what may have happened in that room.

In this episode of Stage Nine, Mike and John take a look at the script for One Night in Miami....
