Paley Celebrates National Geographic’s Genius: MLK/X—Two Minds, One Movement Exhibit
Presented by Citi®
EXTENDED through March 31, 2024
Wednesdays to Sundays, 12:00 to 6:00 pm
The Paley Museum, 25 W 52 Street, NYC
We explore the legacies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X at The Paley Museum by spotlighting the latest installment of National Geographic’s Emmy-winning Genius anthology series, Genius: MLK/X. For the first time, this new season of Genius focuses on two iconic geniuses—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X—and how their dueling philosophies helped usher America through the Civil Rights movement.
This riveting exhibition, with authentic costumes, props, and set decorations from the series, provides a window for visitors to transport themselves into the heart of the 1960s Civil Rights movement chronicled in Genius: MLK/X.
