'AT THE RIVER I STAND'
THE REAL LEGACY OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
Join ANSWER on Tuesday, January 17, at 7 pm to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We'll show a short film, have a report and political discussion.
"At the River I Stand" masterfully reconstructs two eventful months in Memphis, Spring 1968, that transformed a local labor dispute involving 1,300 sanitation workers into a national conflagration, and disentangles the complex historical forces that came together with the tragic murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This documentary gives a riveting portrait of the grit and determination of African Americans to overcome the deeply racist society around them. (1993, 56 min.)
