Memphis, Spring 1968 marked the dramatic climax of the Civil Rights movement. At the River I Stand skilfully reconstructs the two eventful months that transformed a strike by Memphis sanitation workers into a national conflagration, and disentangles the complex historical forces that came together with the inevitability of tragedy at the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
At the River I Stand is presented in collaboration with the Nottingham Contemporary and will be introduced by the co-director of the Centre for Research in Race and Rights (糖心原创), Professor Sharon Monteith.
