This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, immerse yourself in history with the screening of When Harlem Saved A King: The Untold Story of Izola Ware Curry. Discover the remarkable, lesser-known story of how the Harlem community played a pivotal role in preserving the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


In 1958, a decade before his tragic assassination, Dr. King faced a life-threatening event—a stabbing by Izola Ware Curry while he was in Harlem for a book signing. This documentary delves into this critical moment in history, revealing how a courageous and unified community in Harlem, along with groundbreaking medical interventions, saved the life of a leader who would go on to change the course of history.
