'Move When the Spirit Says Move' Film Screening and Discussion

This documentary highlights Dorothy, a pivotal yet often underestimated figure in the Civil Rights Movement. As the sole woman on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s executive staff, Dorothy's contributions were monumental. Through insights, commentary, and reflections from influential figures like Ambassador Andrew Young, Latosha Brown, and Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, the film explores Dorothy's remarkable legacy as a dynamic and effective leader. Her work in educating thousands on their citizenship rights and her ability to galvanize future generations through her emotive freedom songs underscore her significant impact. Dorothy's leadership in establishing freedom schools and her compelling calls to recognize the power within each individual remain crucially relevant today. Her charismatic presence, coupled with her unwavering courage, highlights her essential role in the fight for civil rights, making her story an inspiration for all.
