Blood Done Sign My Name a film inspired by true events in Oxford, North Carolina will be in theaters beginning February 19th.
Based on the autobiography and Master's thesis of Tim Tyson at Duke University. The movie recounts events in 1970 when Tim's father, Vernon Tyson, was pastor of First Methodist Church in Oxford, N.C.
Vernon Tyson's stand against racism cost him his church.
After Henry "Dickie" Morrow, a black Vietnam Veteran, was gunned down by white supremecists, Ben Chavis and Golden Frinks responded to the call to assume leadership of the struggle for civil rights in Oxford.
Here's a link to a review by Tulsa native and Methodist Minister Denny Wayman.
