Watched #OneNightInMiami . It’s so good, you need to watch it if you haven’t already. #leslieodomjr portrays an amazing Sam Cooke. I’m glad I spent today of all days to watch it. Learned more about Sam Cooke and Jim Brown than I thought I knew.
@leslieodomjr Just finished watching #OneNightInMiami ❤️❤️❤️ it. I’m the type of person who appreciates words & dialogue. I also love your voice. Well done all around.
Thank you @leslieodomjr for sharing your craft #OneNightInMiami and for inspiring me with your voice “Speak Now”. A rich and powerful reflection between four black iconic men being real. Much respect to @ReginaKing for taking us back to witness this historical moment.
Bias aside, I love the fact that #OneNightInMiami tapped into Malcolm X's photography hobby. One irritating things about how notable Black figures were taught in school is that they were NEVER humanized. Especially Malcolm X pic.twitter.com/hG6oVUdgSF
