February One Film Screening @ MLK Jr. Site
IMAGE Film & Video and Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic
Site present the Atlanta debut of FEBRUARY ONE, a documentary by
Steven Channing, Rebecca Cerese, and Cynthia Hill. Despite hard-fought
gains in the fight for racial equality, segregation remained firmly
entrenched in 1960s America. February 1, 1960 changed everything.
Four college freshmen, now known as the Greensboro Four, sent shockwaves
throughout the
world by engaging in the first lunch counter sit-in a the downtown
Woolworth building. FEBRUARY ONE documents one winter in Greensboro
that not only challenged public accommodation customs and laws in
North Carolina, but served as a blueprint for the wave of nonviolent
civil rights protests that swept across the nation. The screening
will be May 20, 2004, 7:30pm at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National
Historic Site, Visitor Center. Free admission.

‘Sweet Auburn: Where the Dream Began’ @ MLK Jr. Site
‘Sweet Auburn: Where the Dream Began’ Opens May 20 in
Atlanta(Atlanta, Georgia—May 6, 2004) This summer the Martin
Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, a unit of the National
Park Service, recaptures the
magic of an historic Atlanta corridor once described in Fortune
magazine as “the richest Negro street in the world.”
“Sweet Auburn: Where the Dream Began,” an original exhibition
running at the King historic site May 20-November 15, 2004, recounts
the heyday, decline and contemporary revival of the community where
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born. However, Sweet Auburn’s
worth extends beyond King’s
celebrity, as it exemplifies the determination of African Americans
to lead fulfilled, self-subsisting lives in the midst of legal segregation
and oppression.
With an array of historic artifacts and photographs, the exhibition
demonstrates how the Atlanta district played a vital role in the
African-American struggle for justice and equality. In Sweet Auburn,
African Americans were relatively free from racial harassment as
they owned, operated and patronized institutions catering to all
aspects of community life.
“Sweet Auburn: Where the Dream Began” will be open daily
May 20-November
15, 2004 at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site,
Visitor Center, 450 Auburn Avenue. Hours are 9am-5pm (until 6pm
between June 15 and August 15). Admission is free.
