May 2013 would have marked Malcolm X's 85th birthday. In honor of his memory and of the Civil Rights movement, we are sharing some extremely rare video of him with Martin Luther King, Jr. We recently uncovered this footage of their only meeting together in Washington, DC on March 26, 1964, after a press conference following the US Senate's debate on the Civil Rights Bill.
