| "Freedom's Call" is about
the American Deep South in the turbulent '50's
and `60's. We journey to Memphis, Little Rock,
Oxford, Jackson and the Mississippi Delta with
two African-American journalists who covered
the important stories of the era.
The film
features Dorothy Gilliam, first female African
American reporter at The Washington Post,
and Ernest Withers, renowned photographer
whose work has appeared in the black press,
The Washington Post, The New York Times.
Mr. Withers was with Dr. King the night he
was murdered and helped chronicle this historic
event.
Two of the stops along the way are visits
with Minniejean Brown Trickey, one of The
Little Rock Nine, and James Meredith, first
African American to attend the University
of Mississippi. |
