Screening of At The River I Stand (1993)
DATE: February 13, 2013
Directed by David Appleby, Allison Graham, and Steven Ross
Wednesday - February 13- 7:00 PM
Introduction by Associate Professor of History Alex Lichtenstein
Memphis, Spring 1968 marked the dramatic climax of the Civil Rights movement. At the River I Stand skillfully reconstructs the two eventful months that transformed a strike by Memphis sanitation workers into a national conflagration, and disentangles the complex historical forces that came together with the inevitability of tragedy at the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This 58-minute documentary brings into sharp relief issues that have only become more urgent in the intervening years: the connection between economic and civil rights, debates over strategies for change, the demand for full inclusion of African Americans in American life and the fight for dignity for public employees and all working people.

"One of the most clearheaded, evenhanded documentaries about the civil rights movement you'll ever see, and a piece of gripping story-telling as well." -Dallas Observer

1994 Erik Barnouw Award Recipient, Best Documentary, Organization of American Historians
