Mary J. Blige and Angela Bassett Play the Wives of Malcolm and Martin: An even Match-Up?

Angela Bassett has been a staple in black Hollywood for decades. Her greatest role ever might have been when she played the wife of the late Malcolm X 20 years ago, but she has done quite a few great things besides that.  Her next adventure is playing the wife of Martin Luther King in a film set to appear on Lifetime.

The new film, called “Betty and Coretta,” focuses on the lives of the women who supported two of the most respected black men in history.  One of them fought for integration and the other fought for independence, but they both fought and gave their lives for what they believed in.

    2 Fastastic Women!!!, They are Both Sensational!!! Actress Angela,Dynamatic, her ability to move inside the role is riveting … MaryJ the Savvy Singer who Sings the Songs of Life and Lost can pull this off. Both of them can do this story and excel acclaiming the “Black Prince’s of the 21st Century. (Martin & Malcomb) These women They know the Black Basics of Black People and their Struggle, their Poverty of Gain in America,their Beatdown, the colossal Shut Down and Out. Their Protrayal will be a Symbol of Honesty of what These Two Great Men Did, How they lived; Taught, and Turned the Tide and was Shot Down For Trying to Save People and Especially Blacks who Faced Disgraced oppositions that should have never Happened!!! the Confrontation from the White Racist United States is A Tragic Story/Black History… The Heart and Soul of these Renowned Women Who Stood Beside Their Men and Comforted and Compelled them to Fight the Good Fight of Justice.
