On February 25, 1964, “One Night in Miami” follows Cassius Clay as he emerges from the Miami Beach Convention Center as the new Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World. Against all odds, he shocked the sporting world by beating Sonny Liston. As crowds throng Miami Beach to celebrate the match, Clay, unable to remain on the island due to Jim Crow-era segregation laws, spends the evening with three of his closest friends: Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown, at the Hampton House Motel in Miami’s African American Overtown neighbourhood. During this landmark evening, these leaders shared their thoughts with one another about their roles as influencers, standing up, protecting their rights, and pushing the nation forward to equality and liberation for all black people. The four men awaken the next day ready to create a better future for themselves and their families.
