Grand Opening of Lyric ... "Still Standing"


Ronnie and Lamar Tyler

Lamar and Ronnie Tyler are on a journey to document positive images of African American marriages.  As a young couple, they were frustrated by the media images and portrayals of African American families.  They challenge those negative images by sharing the stories of marriages that thrive and endure in spite of difficulties.  “They have created three documentaries that showcase positive examples of African American marriages and parenting.”

 On Saturday, May 12, I was joined other residents of Lexington to the premier of Still Standing at the Lyric Theater.    I am pleased that we were able to join others in our community  to celebrate this young couple, their vision, and support the Lyric Theater. Lexington joined the following cities where the film was shown, Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, D.C. and Chicago.
