Society of Skeptics Shows Film to Honor Dr. King
The 1964 film, “Nothing But a Man,” was shown in Cowan Auditorium on Tuesday, January 17, as part of the Blair events honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The movie is Michael Roemer’s account of a black railroad worker who falls in love with a preacher’s daughter (circa 1960 in Alabama) and confronts social barriers not of race but of class within his own race. The film stars Abbey Lincoln and Ivan Dixon, with music by Stevie Wonder, Mary Wells, Martha and the Vandellas, The Miracles and The Marvelettes.
