Associated road closures announced
The City of Salisbury is one of only a handful of North Carolina locations that will serve as the backdrop for the upcoming film, “The 24th,” directed by Academy Award winning director, Kevin Willmott, who co-wrote the screenplay for “The Black KKKlansman.”
“The 24th” is a true story about the all-black Twenty-Fourth United States Infantry Regiment, set in Houston, Texas in 1917. The story centers around a riot by the soldiers that left 15 dead. The incident resulted in the largest murder trial in history – 19 men were sentenced to execution and 41 men sentenced to life in prison. The movie stars Trai Byers (The 24th co-writer), Aja Naomi King, Mykelti Williamson, Thomas Haden Church and Bashir Salahuddin.
Film production will result in limited overnight production and weekly road closures beginning on Monday, June 17 through Friday, June 28 in downtown Salisbury and other neighborhood areas. Residents can expect full road closures and Intermittent Traffic Control – the temporary closure of a travel lane(s) or street(s), during filming.
