The fourth season of the acclaimed Nat Geo "Genius" series focuses on American civil rights icons Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Titled "Genius: MLK/X," this installment is a departure from earlier seasons as it features two central figures instead of one. The series explores their formative years, achievements, philosophies, and the impact they had on the civil rights movement.
Their parallel narratives, weaving through the fabric of America's civil rights era, are etched deeply into the nation's consciousness. Actors Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr. were terrified, excited, and proud, at the same time, through the process of bringing these icons to life.
