I AM A MAN | The Movie

“In 1968, Elmore Nickleberry stood among 1,300 other African-American men in Memphis who collectively asserted their right to be treated with dignity.

Mr. Nickleberry hasn’t sat down yet.  Each weeknight, he guides his garbage truck through the streets of downtown Memphis — a living link to a frequently forgotten chapter in American history, and one long eclipsed by the slaying of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”

I’m plugging this for three reasons:

1. It’s significant.
2. The title song by Deanie Parker is sweet soul music.
3. My friend, John Hubbell, worked with an all Memphis team to make this happen.
