Standing at the River with Bill Lucy

Coalition of Black Trade Unionists President -- and AFSCME Secretary-Treasurer -- Bill Lucy will introduce tomorrow's free noontime screening of "At the River I Stand." Lucy - who is featured in the film - worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Memphis sanitation strike in 1968. The film documents the strike and the integral role King took in it. "An excellent film on the movement which drew Martin Luther King to Memphis and his death," says NAACP Chair Julian Bond, "It reveals how the black and labor movements both win by struggling together!"  The screening is presented by the DC Labor FilmFest and the Labor Heritage Foundation, co-sponsored by the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and hosted by the AFL-CIO with support from American Income Life.
