Two answers required. These two people are the focus of the most recent season of Nat Geo’s Genius, which draws on Peniel Joseph’s book The Sword and the Shield and Jeff Stetson’s play The Meeting.

One year before going on Hajj, one of these people mocked the other’s “farce on Washington.” For 10 points, the labels of “militant” and “pacifist” are often given to what Civil Rights leaders who were killed in 1965 and 1968? ■END■
