Described as a \u201cflawed, but sublime hero,\u201d\u009d Powell brought economic improvement to Harlem by leading and organizing a boycott of local shops until people of color were hired.

This small but historical church in Montgomery, Alabama, was where Dr. King served as pastor while finishing his Ph.D. dissertation in theology. Just two weeks after he turned in his dissertation, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. In fighting for her rights, Dr. King emerged as the leader of a nationwide movement. Reassessing MLK's role through the lens of the church, the movie argues that without the support and organization of the church, the civil rights movement could have never taken place.\n\nFilm: King (2008), produced by NBC News executive producer Knute Walker\n\nStart\/Run time: 5:10-6:45 p.m. (94 mins)\n\nThis film features a contemporary examination of the life of Martin Luther King. Narrator Tom Brokaw interviews figures such as Bill Clinton and Condoleezza Rice to explore Dr. King's influence on the civil rights movement in the United States.
