Once More at the River: From MLK to BLM (2019)

From the 1960s picket signs to today's hashtags. Memphis-based organizers and activists reflect on the past fifty years, discussing the impact of both activism and the city's history on the lives of African Americans today. They tell us the story of activism in the city from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, from Dr. King's assassination to MLK50 (the 50th anniversary of his death). They explain how Memphis compares to the rest of the US, and what to look forward to in the future of the nation.
