'Genius: MLK/X': First Look at Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Exclusive)


ET has an exclusive first-look at Harrison as MLK giving his iconic 'I Have a Dream' speech in the National Geographic series.

The Walt Disney CompanyET can also exclusively reveal the first images of Harrison as MLK alongside his wife, Coretta Scott King, who is played by Weruche Opia ( I May Destroy You). ET spoke with Oscar winner Rita Moreno back in June 2020, and she recalled being merely 15 feet away from Dr. King delivering a speech that's as American as apple pie. In the trailer, Harrison's MLK and Aaron Pierre's Malcolm X meet for the first and only time in 1964, when they attended a Senate debate on Capitol Hill.
