-New Urban GRAB BAG- Something to Last TWO Nights...!
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday, tonight's NUY 40+ Grab Bag contains a special treat. From the DVD synopsis of "King- The Miniseries": Nominated for nine Emmy Awards, this biography based on the remarkable life of Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., takes an intimate look at one of the world's most public heroes during one of the most tumultuous times in American history. Starring Paul Winfield, Cicely Tyson and Ossie Davis, King is a riveting tale that appropriately honors a true legend. In 1950s/60s America, the civil rights movement found its leader in a Southern Baptist minister. Through his eloquence, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. motivated masses of people black and white to demand equality by way of nonviolent protest. But in spite of his peaceful agenda, Dr. King was often the target of terrible violence. He was never swayed from his path, however; for by the time he was assassinated in 1968, Dr. King had already defined a dream that would change a nation forever.
This one will be able to last over a couple nights! Happy Viewing, Everybody!
