I Am A Man: From Memphis A Lesson In Live premieres Tuesday, February 24, at 9:30 p.m. on WKNO-TV, Memphis.
"I Am A Man" spotlights the courageous actions by special heroes of Memphis - its sanitation workers - and the determination that bold changed history. The idea for the 30-minute documentary film came from the April 4, 2008, commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As part of that ceremony in the Memphis City Hall, a special tribute was organized for the sanitation workers by the Memphis Tourism Foundation. What began as an effort to film that special day through short oral history interviews soon evolved into this project to shine light on the often forgotten heroes of the civil rights movement.
