The Legacy of Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.
Come and celebrate the life and sacrifices of Reverend Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. by attending the extraordinary performances of Arthur Broady and Daphne Jackson. Arthur’s story telling will return us to the historic March on Washington, D.C. in August 1963 and Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. “The Dream We Almost Never Heard” reveals the true backstory of the speech that changed our country forever. Also, the audience will be provided the back story connected to Dr. King’s “Nobel Prize for Peace Acceptance Speech” delivered in December 1964. You will be reminded of the year-long civil rights battles including killings and bombings which raised issues around the decision to award and to accept the Nobel Prize for Peace. Daphne Jackson will provide several gospel and patriotic musical selections to honor both Dr. King and the country he died for. Revisiting these two historical events and speeches by Dr. King and the music helps continue the legacy and the importance of celebrating Dr. King.
The Glass Menagerie
Written by Tennesse Williams
Amanda Wingfield is a faded, tragic remnant of Southern gentility who lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura. Amanda strives to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her children, though her methods are ineffective and irritating. Tom is driven nearly to distraction by his mother’s nagging and seeks escape in alcohol and the world of the movies. Laura also lives in her illusions. She is crippled, and this defect, intensified by her mother’s anxiety to see her married, has driven her more and more into herself. The crux of the action comes when Tom invites a young man of his acquaintance, Jim, to take dinner with the family. The world of illusion they create in order to make life bearable collapses about them.
