One Night In Miami Review - " Potent, Simple, Thought Provoking and Powerful"



 

One Night In Miami is a classic story of four legendary friends meeting together and in just one night making some strange decision to change the world for good. It also the journey of Cassius Clay becoming Muhammad Ali and why black people in America were opting for Islam rather than staying Christian. It also portrays the 1960s Racism ridden society where Negros were still not allowed to enter any white people's house. That Famous Night of 1964 when Cassius Clay became the world champion and spent the night with his friends Malcolm X, Sam Cooke and Jim Brown. The story revolves around that one night and how it changed the thought process of all three friends. Potent but nuanced direction (a great debut by Regina King).  Smart and witty screenplay by Kemp Powers.  Kingsley Ben-Adir as Malcolm X, Eli Gore as Cassius Clay, Aldis Hodge as Jim Brown, and Leslie Odom Jr.as Sam Cooke all deeply inhabit their characters.

Hacked the Hacktoberfest.

Its October, so as a Open Source Enthusiast I started contributing to Hacktoberfest. It was my first time contributing to Open source and the I was scared of doing something wrong. Eventually I started making progress, I discovered new repositories based on my tech stack and started fixing beginner friendly or good-first-issues. So finally I am done with my Hacktoberfest target but I did not stop contributing and that pushed to me in 8 total contributions.Before starting I had so many doubts like Open Source is only for Pro Developers and you have to know how to code to contribute but after this I know some things that might help you in your first open source contributions.  Bef 1. Use Filters in GitHub to find the repository you want to contribute to and what matches your tech stack and preferences. 2.
