Mr. Zellner’s story of the throes of civil rights turmoil of the 1960s was detailed in his 2008 autobiography, “The Wrong Side of Murder Creek.” Now, the story has been made into a movie by Spike Lee, “Son of the South,” and released this month. ....

A conversation on a crisis: Library event brings authors together


His involvement with the civil rights movement began as a college sociology project.
But one meeting at Reverend Ralph Abernathy’s Montgomery church with Dr. Martin Luther King changed his life forever. Robert (Bob) Zellner, a white Alabamian whose grandfather and father were once members of the Ku Klux Klan, became a civil rights hero whose activism continues to this day.
Bob will be interviewed via Zoom in the Shelter Island Library’s Friday Night Dialogues series on Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. 
His 2008 autobiography, “The Wrong Side of Murder Creek,” has been made into a movie produced by Spike Lee titled, “Son of the South,” which has just been released. Bob will be interviewed by fellow Alabamian and historian Diane McWhorter, whose book “Carry Me Home:  Birmingham, Ala., the Climactic Battle of the Civil Rights Revolution,” won the Pulitzer Prize. ....
