I worked at the Empire Theater in Montgomery from 1961 thru 1964 as an usher. Mr. Bicky Covey was the manager. I sat the first black patrons in this theater in 1964. This was a very historic moment in the civil rights movement in Montgomery. I have always had wonderful memories of this theater, the people who worked there, and the movies I saw.
