Description
On Jan. 19, the Archuleta County Democrats will observe Martin Luther King Day with a special matinee presentation of the film Selma, a 2015 Best Picture nominee.
The film recounts events of 1965, when a city in Alabama became a key battleground in the Civil Rights Movement. The struggle culminated with the historic march from Selma to Montgomery.
Synopsis
Selma is the story of a movement. The film chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson (Tom Wilkinson) signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement. Director Ava DuVernay’s Selma tells the real story of how the revered leader and visionary Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted change that forever altered history.
Each $25 ticket includes one entry for door prizes, which include gift certificates to local businesses and a copy of KING, the 2024 Pulitzer-Prize winning biography of Dr. King, signed by the author. Additional door prize tickets will be available for purchase.
Doors open at 1 p.m. The program begins at 2.
