Commemoration of the March on Washington

Sixty years after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963, poet and performer David Mills will present an hour-long dramatic presentation, portraying Dr. King’s transformation from his early uncertainties about Civil Rights into the iconic figure he became.  The show highlights Dr. King’s, “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” “I Have a Dream” “Promised Land” “If I had Sneezed,” and “Early Days.”  Mr. Mills’ stirring presentation looks at the public figure and the private man.
