Where do you stand?
I don't know if I can recommend highly enough the documentary At the River I Stand which chronicles the sanitation workers' strike that brought Dr. King to Memphis.
OK. I'm perplexed. In this day and age of inexpensive reproduction, why does a documentary this good about a period so momentous see such limited availablility? The good kids at Netflix don't seem to have a copy. And the St. Louis Public Library only has the VHS available for limited circulation in public viewings. Of course, they do have the book of the same name.
Is the dvd available in your library?
