Jayme Lawson plays Dr. Betty Shabazz in 'GENIUS: MLK/X.'
Transcript
00:00 Dr. Betty Shabazz was an opportunity to give and restore
00:05 a full complexity and a humanity to a woman
00:08 that history did a really good job of trying to erase.
00:13 I truly believe that we would not know the legacy
00:16 of Malcolm X without Dr. Betty Shabazz.
00:19 And same for Martin and Coretta.
00:22 Without these two women carrying on their legacies,
00:25 history would have completely erased these men.
00:28 Let's be very clear about that.
00:29 right?
