 FACT: The scene where Charles is met by a group of protesters  outside the Bell Auditorium in Augusta, Ga. is a fabrication.  Charles canceled his appearance after receiving a telegram from  students at a local black college. His refusal to play the  segregated show did not result in a ban by the state of Georgia as  depicted in the movie. Charles was sued by the promoter and ordered  to pay compensation, but there was no ban, nor was there an apology  from the state when Charles was honored by the Georgia legislation  in 1979.
