What Movie Did MLK Love?

What movie did MLK love?
— Martin Luther King Jr.
From Travis's 2016 curiosity journal

Martin Luther King Jr. loved the movie High Noon — the story of a marshal who stands alone against injustice while everyone around him runs away. He watched it more than once. Maybe he needed to. Maybe we all do. Some stories aren't entertainment. They're preparation. They're the vision of who we want to be when the moment comes. Dr. King knew that moment was coming. He prepared for it at the movies.
