Civil rights leader removed from movie theater for using his own chair

A civil rights leader was escorted by police out of a North Carolina movie theater after he insisted on using his own chair for medical reasons, prompting an apology from the nation's largest movie theater chain. The incident occurred during a showing of "The Color Purple." The leader, Rev. William Barber II, suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, a disabling bone disease. Barber is co-chair of the national Poor People's Campaign, modeled after an initiative by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Barber previously led protests over voter access at the Statehouse.
